As part of the “Get Energized” education series through Holland’s Sustainability Committee, we were asked to perform an energy audit for the Holland Area Boys and Girls Club. It was a great experience being recorded and interviewed while doing the audit. We worked with some great people from the Holland BPW and the Boys and Girls Club in completing this audit. Since the audit, the Boys and Girls Club has implemented some of the recommendations we made and are already seeing savings in their utility costs!

Project

Bob from Van Eerden Foodservices needed a new lighting system in their cold storage warehouse. After learning about potential solutions from traditional electrical firms, Bob asked us to evaluate the situation and offer ideas of what our solution would be. Bob loved our unique design so much, he awarded us the project. 

Results

  • Federal EPACT tax deduction: 60¢ per square foot

  • Payback: 0.9 year

  • Estimated annual savings: $78,000

  • Reduced CO2 emissions from power consumption by 611 metric tons

Project

Mike was stuck. LED lighting was too expensive and flourescent lighting was not going to last long enough for Michigan Turkey Producers. At food processing facilities, it is very expensive to stop production in order to change out a defective lamp. All of the regulation and safety involved in the food business makes for a unique challenge when it comes to a lighting retrofit project. What were Mike's options? He needed a long lasting lamp that would provide excellent light output and not burn at such an expensive rate. Midwest Energy Group brought a unique lighting design to Mike's attention that ultimately resulted in one happy customer. Good things happen when the companies that you work with ask intelligent questions, conduct in-depth research and innovate creative solutions. Good things happen when you work with Midwest Energy Group.

Results

  • Federal EPACT tax deduction: 60¢ per square foot

  • Payback: 1 year

  • Estimated annual savings: $136,500

  • Reduced CO2 emissions from power consumption by 939 metric tons
