Lineage Logistics finishes initial lighting upgrade
Lineage Logistics and Groom Energy Solutions recently announced the completion of the initial LED lighting upgrade project at the Lineage cold storage facility in Richmond VA.
As a part of Lineage’s overall sustainability efforts, the project reduces the energy consumed by the facility’s lighting systems 85% and eliminates more than 100 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. The system also reduces heat load, providing lower energy consumption for refrigeration.
The new system replaces the previous HID-based lighting fixtures with the Digital Lumens Intelligent Lighting System, which integrates smart, high bay LED fixtures and LightRules lighting management software. It produces illumination levels that are 25% brighter than the previous system and provides better visibility for Lineage personnel while limiting glare. Integrated controls turn lights on only when there is occupancy and track energy consumption on a real-time basis.
In the building assessment, Groom Energy performed energy and photometric modeling, test demonstrations, and ultimately designed a new site-specific system. The Groom Energy project team installed the system over a three-week period with minimal disruption to Lineage’s operations.
Lineage Logistics is a warehousing and logistics company offering a range of cold chain systems for complex storage and service requirements. Occupying about 130 million cubic feet, Lineage operates the fifth-largest facility network in North America based on data from the International Association of Refrigerated Warehouses (IARW).
