Case Study: Hunts Point Cooperative Market cuts lighting load and maintenance costs with Facility Solutions Group

FSG Updates Lighting In The Worlds Largest Food Distribution Center

The Hunts Point Cooperative Market, a major food distribution hub in the Bronx, faced the complex challenge of updating its lighting across a nearly one-million-square-foot facility. Facility Solutions Group was selected to perform a lighting upgrade to improve energy efficiency, which required careful coordination with the market's 52 individual companies and their 24/7 operating schedules.

Facility Solutions Group implemented a comprehensive solution, replacing thousands of fixtures with new LED lighting and sensors for interiors, coolers, and exteriors. The results were significant, reducing the building's lighting load by over 512 kW and cutting annual energy use by over 3 million kWh. The project also dramatically lowered maintenance costs due to the new fixtures' longer lifespan.
