Case Study: East Coast Warehouse achieves $220,000/year in energy savings with Facility Solutions Group lighting upgrades

FSG Upgraded 1,500 fixtures in three buildings

East Coast Warehouse & Distribution, a major logistics company, faced the challenge of upgrading the outdated high-pressure sodium lighting system across its 1.8 million square foot facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The customer required an energy-efficient solution that would provide adequate light levels for operations, including US Customs inspections, while being suitable for a food storage environment. They turned to their long-standing partner, Facility Solutions Group (FSG), for a lighting retrofit.

Facility Solutions Group implemented a two-phase solution, first installing energy-efficient fluorescent high bays with occupancy sensors and specialized reflectors. Several years later, FSG further upgraded the same fixtures by converting them to LED tubes, which slashed energy costs by an additional 70%. This future-proof approach resulted in annual energy savings of $220,000 for the customer and demonstrated the lasting value of their investment with FSG.
