NEEM To Implement Energy Efficiency Projects For Ford Detroit Campus Facilities

Published: 02-Mar-2010

Ford Motor has selected New England Energy Management (NEEM) to implement energy efficiency projects for its Detroit Campus facilities. NEEM will replace over 50,000 light fixtures, install Lighting Control Systems and Daylight Dimming controls to achieve efficiency, as a part of the project.

The projects will be installed with no up front cost, the resulting energy savings will go to pay NEEM over a five year term, affording a cash flow neutral scenario for Ford.

NEEM has worked for Ford Motors in 18 of its other distribution facilities with main focus on relighting the facilities.

Arthur LaChapelle of Ford Parts Supply & Logistics, said: ''We have worked with NEEM on relighting our Parts Distribution Centers, with considerable success. Not only have our light levels improved but our electrical costs have been significantly reduced.

''All personnel performed at the highest levels of professional practice, from the president of the company to the installers demonstrated to me that these things aren't just part of a written mission statement hanging on a wall. Every aspect of each installation was completed to our expectations or beyond.''

Scott Hinson, president of NEEM, said: ''Ford’s commitment to efficiency and process is in alignment with our commitment to exemplary customer service. Ford has shown its drive for green technology through manufacturing, distribution and through to its dealership network, and NEEM is excited about our role in these initiatives.''
