Navistar International Lighting Retrofit Project Saves Over $1.1M/year With Instant Payback
through First Energy Rebate Program
Project Scope
RelightDepot was contracted to retrofit all of the lighting at Navistar International's Springfield Assembly
Plant. RelightDepot provided all materials, contracted all third party installers, managed the rebate
process and financed the project until the rebate was released. This allowed Navistar to take advantage
of new lighting without spending any capital on this project.
Project Summary
Working with two electrical contractors and a team of more than 35 retrofit technicians, RelightDepot
removed more than 9,000 light fixtures in three facilities totaling more than 2.3M sq. ft. and installed over
5,000 energy efficient high bay fixtures and occupancy sensors throughout the space. The work was
performed on 2nd and 3rd shift as to not disturb production during the fourth quarter of 2011.
