Brighter Facilities. Lower Costs. Better Operations.
Challenge
A global provider of procedural products and infection prevention services for biotech, pharmaceutical, and healthcare laboratories needed to improve facility performance at several Midwest locations. Aging lighting systems were increasing costs and limiting visibility in critical work environments.
The organization wanted to reduce energy consumption, improve lighting quality, and minimize maintenance tied to routine fixture replacements. Existing infrastructure was at risk of inefficiencies, higher operating expenses, and disruptions affecting daily operations.
With extensive experience helping organizations improve energy efficiency and facility performance, Mantis worked closely with the client to identify a practical path forward.
Solution
Mantis developed an LED lighting upgrade strategy focused on measurable operational improvements and lower long-term costs:
- Assess existing lighting performance and identify efficiency opportunities.
- Replace aging fixtures with high-efficiency LED lighting solutions.
- Improve long-term reliability while reducing maintenance requirements.
The upgrade increased light levels throughout the facility while creating a more energy-efficient and durable system. By modernizing critical infrastructure, the client improved workplace visibility, reduced energy consumption, and lowered maintenance demands, thereby reducing productivity disruptions.
Results
The completed project helped the organization avoid ongoing costs and inefficiencies tied to outdated lighting infrastructure. The upgrade delivered energy savings and a rapid return on investment, supporting long-term facility performance goals.
Performance Outcomes:
- $54,000 in total annual savings
- 598,000 kWh reduced annually
- 41% increase in lighting levels
- $26,400 in incentives captured
- 2.3-year project payback achieved
