Vision & Manufacturing
Environment
NEAP has invested more than $20 million since 2016 to modernize its Farmington facility. NEAP installed a LED lighting system that uses up to 75% less electricity and reduces operating and maintenance costs by about 80%. Additional improvements included the installation of a new air compressor with variable-frequency drives (VFDs) to regulate air handlers, exhaust heat and cut energy use by more than 35 percent, as compared to non-VFD models.
The new measures are estimated to save 600 million kilowatt-hours of electricity and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 470 tons -the equivalent of taking nearly 90 cars off the road for a year.
