Changing lights at our DCs
Location: United States and Canada
Summary: Changing to energy-efficient light bulbs is saving Gap Inc. 26 million kilowatt-hours and more than $2 million annually.
In a company of our size, making a change in something as ubiquitous as lighting can make a huge difference.
As part of our energy reduction work, we’ve replaced the high-bay metal halide lighting fixtures at our distribution centers with energy-efficient fluorescents — while maintaining, and even improving, lighting levels.
Since the program’s inception in 2006, we’ve significantly reduced our annual energy consumption and costs. We’ve replaced more than 16,000 light bulbs, saving 26 million kilowatt-hours and more than $2 million annually.
