Building on the core concepts of the manufacturing process and supply chain management, industrial facilities are well positioned to reduce their environmental impact by increasing efficiency and reducing waste. JDM works with owners and managers of industrial facilities to reduce operating expenses through energy, water, and waste management strategies.
For example, lighting upgrades and delamping can significantly reduce energy consumption without compromising light quality, worker safety, or productivity. Reevaluation of HVAC zones can also reduce energy consumption since not all areas of a warehouse require climate control. And industrial facilities’ large, flat roofs are ideal for solar panels and rainwater catchment.
As most industrial leases follow a triple net model where tenants are responsible for all operating expenses, investing in a facility’s environmental performance can lead to lease renewals, new leases, and higher rents, while demonstrating a company’s commitment to sustainability.
