The retrofit project, led by Bluestone Energy Services, is the largest of its kind in New England and will provide substantial energy savings
WESTFORD, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Bluestone Energy Services, LLC, a leader in energy conservation engineering and project development services for industrial and commercial clients, announced today that it has helped Mack Technologies substantially reduce energy consumption in its Westford, Massachusetts manufacturing facility with a comprehensive LED lighting retrofit. This project has the distinction of being the largest retrofit deployment of LED lighting in any manufacturing space in New England.
“Our decision to move forward was based on a careful assessment of LED lighting quality and cost, as well as our desire to be a leader in corporate social responsibility.”
The new lighting project will help Mack Technologies, a leading provider of complex contract manufacturing services (including printed circuit board assembly, electromechanical assembly and full system assembly), meet new sustainability goals, cut costs and significantly improve the working conditions of its employees.
Mack Technologies will save over $50,000 in annual lighting costs and will receive over $130,000 through a combination of state and federal tax credits, and utility incentives provided by National Grid. The LED lighting project provides Mack Technologies with a two year payback for all invested capital.
Bluestone not only replaced 2,600 T-8 fluorescent bulbs with high efficiency Lithonia LED fixtures in Mack’s manufacturing space, but also replaced several hundred older bulbs with high-performance T-8 bulbs in Mack’s offices.
Savings from the new lighting system was further increased by more than fifty percent by using state-of-the-art wireless controls on the standards based, ZigBee Certified ControlScope™ platform provided by Daintree Networks. This system gives Mack Technologies the ability to expand their facility’s energy efficient controls wirelessly, for decades to come.
