Lighting system
High-efficiency fluorescents are used throughout the plant and office, and occupancy sensors and dimming systems are used in the office areas.
Paper reduction
A focus on limiting paper use resulted in a 45% decrease in paper purchased. Electronic sharing, double-sided printing, printing only pages
needed, and duplex copying are a few ways paper usage is minimized.
