Orion Energy Systems Lighting installed at Miller Brewing

Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter

MANITOWOC — The Miller Brewing Company's 2008 Sustainable Development Report highlights Orion Energy Systems for delivering 9 million kilowatt hours in annual energy savings and nearly 9,000 tons of annual green house gas emissions reductions.

"The new fixtures provide better light, are more efficient and help reduce Miller's energy consumption," according to Miller's 2008 Sustainable Development Report, released earlier this month.

The report said Miller Brewing had installed new motion sensors that automatically conserve energy when the lights are not needed, and integrated light pipes determine and regulate the amount of light needed, if at all, during daylight hours.

Miller's implementation of Orion's integrated energy management platform began at Miller's Milwaukee brewery. The energy savings prompted the installation of Orion's products at five other Miller facilities including Eden, N.C.; Albany, Ga.; Trenton, Ohio; Fort Worth, Texas; and Irwindale, Calif.
