How Hologic Transformed Facility Lighting for Comfort, Savings, and Sustainability
Client Background
Hologic is a global leader in women’s health, committed to delivering innovative solutions that improve lives. However, outdated fluorescent lighting systems at its headquarters were creating inefficiencies and negatively impacting employee comfort. With rising energy costs and sustainability objectives in focus, the organization needed a smarter solution to enhance performance and reduce operational risks.
Challenge
The existing lighting system lacked advanced controls and relied on thousands of fluorescent fixtures, resulting in excessive energy consumption and high maintenance costs. Beyond the financial impact, poor lighting quality was affecting employee productivity and overall workplace comfort. Hologic needed a solution that would not only reduce costs but also align with its sustainability commitments.
Solution
Mantis Innovation stepped in with a comprehensive lighting and controls strategy designed to deliver measurable improvements. The team began by identifying significant incentive opportunities, securing $330,000 to offset project costs. Next, Mantis redesigned the lighting layout to optimize illumination and installed 89 LED high-bay fixtures equipped with advanced controls. This upgrade replaced 2,385 outdated fluorescent fixtures, ensuring a seamless transition to a modern, energy-efficient system that supports both operational and environmental goals.
Results & Impact
The results were transformative. Hologic now saves $95,000 annually on energy costs and has reduced consumption by 600,000 kWh, avoiding 260 metric tons of CO₂ emissions. The project achieved a payback period of just 3.5 years, thanks in part to the $330,000 in incentives secured by Mantis. Beyond the numbers, employees benefit from higher-quality lighting that enhances comfort and productivity, while the organization strengthens its commitment to sustainability.
