The Big Picture

An expensive building management system was nearing end-of-life.

 We designed a custom electrical solution for their building needs.

Saved 80% on technology costs and completed project 14 months early.

 

Problem

Expensive Electrical System Quickly Approaching End-of-Life

Dansko operates 3 large facilities in West Grove, PA: an office building, a warehouse, and a distribution facility. 

Dansko’s maintenance manager was faced with scheduling a major and time-sensitive project. Their contract with their expensive building automation system that operated their office building was set to expire in 2 years. 

They needed to decide whether to continue with a costly system upgrade or reconfigure the entire electrical system of their facility. 

 
 
 

Solution

Replace Complex Building Automation System with a Custom Electrical Solution

When we walked through the facility and analyzed the systems with Dansko, it was clear they were leaving paying for plenty of features that were never used. 

  • Design an easy-to-use electrical system
    Dansko didn’t need a complex and custom electrical automation system, but their needs weren’t out-of-the-box. We designed a custom electrical layout using an off-the-shelf component that would allow future savings on maintenance.

  • LED Retrofit
    Fluorescent lights are expensive and inefficient. The LED technology will last 2-4 times as long as outdated fluorescent bulbs, saving on energy costs and lowering their carbon footprint—which aligns with Dansko’s commitment to minimizing its environmental impact.

 

Impact

80% Reduction in Technology Budget, Project Completed 14 Months Ahead of Schedule

Dansko budgeted 2 years to complete the retrofit and electrical management system replacement. Our team completed it in just 8 months.

The custom electrical system has no ongoing licensing costs, saving them 80% on technology budget. 

Once completed, Dansko and New London Electric were able to partner on several more projects within the office, warehouse, and distribution center.
