The Price of Aging Infrastructure

After 50+ years in business, Harwood Manufacturing’s aging infrastructure required a rethink to reduce operating costs and create a more comfortable, productive workplace. It had become obvious when you walked into the facility that it was time for an upgrade. But Harwood’s team struggled to find the time and resources to make the change. 

This is a project that we knew we needed to do for a long time. There’s a lot of components from employee safety to product quality that are really improved by having better lighting.

Hello LED Lighting Solutions

Recognizing the need to modernize and invest in the company’s future, Harwood partnered with Hello Sunray to find a solution. Hello Sunray managed the project from beginning to end, freeing up Harwood’s manufacturing team to focus on their core business. Harwood undertook a comprehensive retrofit of their facility lighting after discussing sustainable power solutions with our experts, ultimately upgrading to an energy-efficient LED lighting system. Beyond delivering energy efficiency, the new lighting system reduces glare and eye strain, improving the overall working dynamic—a big win for increasing productivity.

The goals were clear and Hello Sunray was able to:

Improve Energy Efficiency

Enhance Workplace Productivity

Support Sustainability Goals

Invest in the Company's Future

It was a project that many facilities need to do and would want to do, but many never pull the trigger on because they don’t have a partner like Hello Sunray to able to manage that process for them.

The Results Speak for Themselves

Harwood is projected to achieve a 50% reduction in lighting energy usage and overall, a 12% reduction in total energy use. This is equivalent to a reduced COfootprint of 21.6 metric tons. But that’s just one part of the bottom-line impact. Integrating LED lighting technology has already enhanced visibility and safety in manufacturing areas, leading to increased productivity.

This is only the first step in Harwood’s sustainability journey. Future initiatives include commercial solar panels, promising even greater savings.

Let us help your business meet its sustainability goals!

The minute the new lighting system turned on, we knew it was an investment worth every penny. The energy and money savings are a big win—and it’s a game-changer for our team as they get the job done.
