An energy efficiency audit was carried out by the MES team at the Stemberg Manufacturing site in Bedford. This site was chosen among ‘Stemberg's thirteen facilities throughout the country because it was the first factory building for Sternberg Manufacturing, so it has the most opportunities for improvement. Four areas of improvement were identified. First, solar panels from Perales Co. should be added to sections of the rooftop to generate sustainable energy that could be either used on site or sold back to the grid, Second, the packaging equipment should be replaced with energy-efficient machines designed by Forsyth, Inc. Third, skylights should be installed by Verne Enterprises to provide free natural light. Fourth, the exterior walls, should be insulated by Webster Construction to reduce heat loss. Employees should also undergo training to learn about ways they can contribute to a reduction in energy usage.
