Element Materials Technology, a global leader in product testing, inspection, and certification services, aimed to upgrade their lab facility for sustainability and energy efficiency. Partnering with Orion, they sought to transition from traditional lighting to LED technology, aiming for improved energy savings, lighting quality, and reduced environmental impact.
Challenge
Prior to the retrofit, Element’s lab facility in Burton, MI relied on fluorescent and metal-halide lighting systems, which consumed significant energy. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive lighting update, Element aimed to:- Maximize energy savings while enhancing lighting performance.
- Improve light quality and distribution across various lab testing areas,
office spaces, corridors, and exterior facility locations such as parking lots and walkways. - Reduce maintenance costs associated with outdated lighting fixtures.
- Implement sustainable solutions to reduce location-based Scope 2 emissions.
Solution
Orion was chosen as the preferred lighting partner for Element’s retrofit project due to its ability to deliver a turnkey lighting solution tailored to the diverse needs of the laboratory environment. Orion’s product portfolio offered stylish, high-performing, and energy-efficient LED fixtures designed
to meet Element’s specific requirements. Each product was strategically selected to optimize energy savings, enhance lighting quality, and ensure seamless integration with Element’s existing infrastructure.
The following Orion products were installed as part of the retrofit:
- LDRE3 Troffer Retrofit Kits
- HHSL2 High Bay LED fixtures
- SFHC2 LED Strip fixtures
- LSCS1 Canopy Fixtures
- LSWS1 Wall Pack
- IAHP1 Exterior Area Lights
- FLGA3 LED Flood fixtures
