MTI's team members were called
in to solve a problem at the Ford Motor Company
World Headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan.
The Dilemma: On the top two floors of the World Headquarters building,
maintenance
crews were unable to reduce the inside temperature to anything lower
than 76 degrees
if the temperature outside was 88 degrees or higher.
MTI accepted the CHALLENGE!!!
Our Plan: To retrofit the
existing lighting fixtures (incandescent bulbs, magnetic ballasts
and fluorescent lamps) with Compact, Halogen and T-8 lamps along with
electronic ballasts.
The Result: Those offices were able to achieve and maintain an
interior temperature of
70-71 degrees while saving a tremendous amount of energy as well.
Consider the impact of Heat Load on your building just by retrofitting
the lighting. Imagine the
effect on your lighting bill, but the positive financial effect that
results as it multiplies within
your complete HVAC system.
Bonus: Your community will thank you for being an environmentally
conscious, responsible
corporate citizen!
