OVERVIEW
- This TotalE, energy efficiency and renewable energy, project achieved the client’s goal to reach “net zero”. This was done with the implementation of a solar PV system and complete replacement of existing lighting with advanced LED fixtures. Upon completion of this transformation, the site will not produce more energy than it demands from the grid.
- This project was the first “net zero” site in the state of Georgia as well as our client’s second net-zero distribution site in the United States.
CHALLENGE
- Improve ESG metrics (i.e., 100% Reduction in MtCO2e)
- Project is +NPV at +$74,219
