Cooper-Standard received an Environmental Stewardship Award this month, following a large-scale lighting retrofit project that will dramatically reduce Cooper-Standard's energy spend while benefiting the environment.
Contemporary Energy Solutions and installation partner Thomann Electric completed the project, which involved replacing 638 hot-burning, energy-draining 400-watt metal halide HID fixtures with 628 Orion Energy Systems fluorescent fixtures. CES also added motion controls onto 70 of the fixtures.
Cooper-Standard is projected to save more than $80,000 a year in lighting electricity costs. In addition, this dramatic reduction in electricity use will translate into 1.1 million kWh savings and 670 tons of carbon dioxide indirectly being removed from the atmosphere.
CES representatives Tony and Romano Vlastelica presented Cooper-Standard officials with the Environmental Stewardship Award. The ESA is given to companies that significantly benefit the environment through significant reductions in energy use.
