Newdock Shines a Light on Saving Energy at Work
When you conserve energy, you win in more ways than one. From installation rebates and huge monthly savings to a brighter, happier working environment, saving energy benefits everyone – talk about a lightbulb moment!
Newdock is one of the oldest shipyards in Canada. For over 140 years, they’ve been offering with world-class ship repair and refit services for marine vessels across many industries in eastern Canada. Newdock has repaired, upgraded, and serviced vessels of all types including the Canadian Coast Guard, Navy, offshore supply, seismic, commercial tugboats and barges, aquaculture, and the traditional fishery.
Newdock is already an industry leader in its commitment to protecting the environment in many of its operations, reducing waste and practicing proper clean-up procedures. Their commitment to energy efficiency, then, is only natural: it’s part of their mandate to avoid energy wastage by conserving energy wherever possible. With the help of takeCHARGE, Newdock was able to lower a substantial monthy operating cost: lighting!
Completed in three phases over several years, takeCHARGE helped Newdock access over $53,000 in rebates to refit their facilities with LED high bay lighting, LED exterior lighting, and wall packs. These simple updates are saving them over $80,000 a year in operating costs!
Facilities Manager Marc Halbot noted that the lighting upgrade made a huge difference – not just in savings, but in employee satisfaction, too! The brighter conditions throughout the facility helped improve employee working conditions and create a happier, safer workspace for everyone.
Always searching for new ways to save, Newdock has their eye set on energy efficiency and sustainability for the future development of their facilities. They are currently working with takeCHARGE to upgrade to LED lighting in their office areas – who knows what other bright ideas to save they’ll have?
