KAPCO’s energy reduction is expected to be paid for within six month after consideration of First Energy Corporation’s rebate program and an EPAct tax incentive.
“We’re able to reduce our carbon footprint by more than 207 tons while reducing our energy costs year after year,” says Ed Small, president of KAPCO.
The company worked with energy reduction and lighting specialist Bob Taussig to contract the installation of Philips Optimum high-bay fixtures. The fixtures use WhiteOptics high diffuse reflectance technology to maximize energy efficiency and light distribution.
