CASE STUDY
One of ABB’ s largest sites in the United States is powering ahead with a range of sustainable initiatives to slash its carbon footprint and save more than $ 150,000 per year in energy costs. implemented a range of energy savings measures, such as low energy lighting and water reduction, but is now also using cutting edge software to monitor and reduce power consumption.
Situated in the‘ Low Country’ of South Carolina and employing some 100 workers, the Florence facility provides aftermarket support and service for power and electricity distribution equipment including switchgear, breakers and other electrical equipment. The electrical infrastructure that Florence repairs, retrofits and upgrades can be found on the power grid and at industrial and commercial locations throughout the US.
The 150,000 sq ft aftermarket support and service facility for ABB Electrification Service has not only
The journey began a few years ago with a retrofit of the aging air conditioning system, introducing new roof units and modern control automation to ensure temperatures remained stable and consistent across the complex.
The upgraded air conditioning system meant the facility – which is managed by Shawn Shockey, Manager of Manufacturing for ABB Electrification Service – no longer required natural gas heating, resulting in further cost and emission reductions through the disposal of an on-site natural gas tank.
