Goodwill Industries of Akron

Case Study: Spotlight on Efficiency

OPPORTUNITY

This private, nonprofit focuses on helping those with barriers prepare for, find and retain employment. The services provided by The Goodwill Industries of Akron, Ohio, Inc., are made possible by generous donors, shoppers and community supporters. The dated lighting system at their headquarters wasn't as energy efficient as they wanted.

RESOLUTION

The Goodwill Industries of Akron, Ohio, Inc., partnered with IGS on an upgrade to LED lighting with state-of-the-art wireless occupancy sensors at their headquarters. The spaces updated included offices, retail, the warehouse, and sorting and assembly areas. Results of the project include 10-50% more light in the warehouse areas and a reduction of 200,000 kWh of electricity usage for the facility.
