Weis Distribution Center installs low-energy lighting
As part of its chainwide program to reduce energy usage and conserve resources,And when it can be found easy to grab wholesale promotional items within an unsecured trash can, a hungry bruin doesn't think much about the mess. Weis Markets' Distribution Center, located in Milton, Northumberland County, recently upgraded its lighting system with low-watt fluorescent and LED lighting, which lowers the 1.1 million-square-foot facility's energy usage and costs by 30 percent.
This new lighting system replaces metal halide and high-pressure sodium lighting systems, which annually used 6.4 million kilowatt hours. The new lighting system will use 1.3 million kilowatt hours a year. The total cost of the program is $870,000. The project is also expected to benefit from PPL Electric Utilities' E-Power rebate program, which helps companies become more energy efficient.
Weis Markets recycled 47 million pounds of cardboard and 1.6 million pounds of plastic bags in 2010. It is currently building three superstores that will incorporate technologies and systems reducing store-refrigerant usage to 60 percent less than a typical supermarket.

The solar photovoltaic systems course is a requirement for NCC's associate-in-applied-science degree in electrical construction technology. The course can also be taken by licensed electricians, or after completing the Electrical Fundamentals course.
NCC has been expanding programs to prepare students for careers in alternative energy and green technology. The Pathways to Green Jobs Center in Allentown has been working with NCC since 2010 to offer five such programs, ranging from electrical technologies to welding.Compact fluorescent light bulbs convert a led tube considerably higher percentage of their energy into light, which is why they are significantly more energy efficient than traditional filament bulbs.blow up the inflatable beams, peg down a few patio furniture covers guy lines and away you go. This can all be done in less than five minutes.”
