Franklin, NJ

L’Oreal Manufacturing’s Franklin, NJ facility is a 200,000 square foot production building built in the 1980’s. Since the plant operates 2-3 shifts per day and a kW rate exceeding .11/kWh, the need to control energy costs became a priority. Our project management team worked closely with L’Oreal maintenance and facility personnel to design a lighting solution that, once completed, delivered almost 153 kW in load reduction. The project included the replacement of over 1200 T12 fluorescent lighting fixtures and almost 300 HPS high bay lighting fixtures located in warehouse, production and administrative areas.

Project goals included light levels that met or exceeded existing levels after installation, the use of high efficient fluorescent fixtures in the warehouse and administrative areas to increase visual comfort and most importantly, construction that never interfered with production.

Our long-term commitment to L’Oreal has resulted in numerous energy saving projects. Most recently, we completed the installation of a breakthrough lighting control system that uses sophisticated data processing to achieve 65% to 80% energy savings. This system integrates six lighting management strategies that deliver greater capabilities to lighting control then any conventional system.
