The proven longevity of LEDs was appealing to ownership and they were optimistic they could identify an opportunity to decrease energy use, even though the lights at the facility are never turned off.

Manufacturing spaces have drastically evolved from the dark conditions associated with the industrialism of past decades. Although these times were important to the development of western culture and wealth, they also hugely influenced the global warming crisis that we find ourselves in today. Businesses are now going the extra mile to be recognised as energy efficient.

GE Japan (Headquarters: Minato Ward, Tokyo; President: Akihiko Kumagai) today announces the installment of its high capacity energy storage system, gas engine for cogeneration, and LED lighting equipment for the “Future Disaster-Proof Factory Plan,” a project that is being undertaken by Sekisui House’s Tohoku Factory.

Eco-Shift Power, one of Canada's leading energy management and lighting firms, has signed a contract with Cott Beverages Canada, a division of Cott Corporation (Cott) to retrofit one of Cott's production facilities in Mississauga, Ontario. Cott is a supplier of beverages distributing to multiple countries including Canada, the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Europe. In partnering with ECOP, Cott expects over $170,000/year savings through ECOP's NetZero LED fixtures for Warehouse, Office and Outdoor applications.
