Servidyne Completes Major Energy Efficiency Program

National Automotive Replacement Parts Distributor Receives $1 million in Rebates

ATLANTA--()--Servidyne Systems, LLC, a building optimization company that focuses on energy efficiency and sustainability, today reported that it completed a 4-year program with a nationally recognized automotive replacement parts distributor that significantly improved the energy efficiency of more than 100 distribution centers. Additionally, the program generated approximately $1 million in utility rebates to provide a significant source of funding for the program and to increase its return on investment.

The energy savings realized under this program resulted from lighting efficiency upgrades in both office and warehouse areas of the distribution centers. The engineered solution for the office area incorporated the addition of occupancy lighting sensors and conversion from T12 to more efficient T8 lighting fixtures. The warehouse areas also received occupancy lighting sensors in the aisle ways, as well as the conversion from T12 and metal halide fixtures to high performance T8 High Bay technology specifically designed for large spaces. Prior to beginning the improvements, Servidyne building experts performed assessments of all the facilities, followed by engineering and design of the solutions.

The lighting efficiency upgrade and installation of sensors provided an average payback of 2.9 years. Servidyne’s experienced rebate and incentive administration team helped its customer take advantage of financial rebates that were offered by local utility providers in the various 100 distribution center locations. Through these rebate programs, Servidyne generated more than $1 million for the automotive replacement parts distributor.

“This has been a very exciting engagement for Servidyne. Once again, the Servidyne team has provided tremendous value to the customer, as well as surpassed the customer’s expectations on this energy efficiency and sustainability program,” said Jim Dore, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Servidyne. “We are honored to further expand this program as we move to the next phase of Active Fifth Fuel Management™ and assist our customer in achieving their energy efficiency and sustainability goals.”

Servidyne’s energy efficiency work improved the quality of light within the facilities, including lighting distribution and lighting levels as well as extended the maintenance life by up to 30 percent.
