| NRG's new manufacturing facility uses one-fourth the energy of conventional buildings. |
|
 |
At NRG Systems, how we work is as important to us as where we work. In the 1990s, we redesigned our entire manufacturing process to implement lean manufacturing. This way of manufacturing has become a core management philosophy in our company. Our long-standing commitment to lean manufacturing has increased our flexibility and productivity, reduced costs and waste and enabled us to maintain tight controls on product quality. Simply put, lean manufacturing allows us to provide quality products where and when our customers need it. Our manufacturing facility is another example of our company’s commitment to efficiency. By investing in the best energy efficiency technologies and powering our building with renewable energy, we have minimized our company's impact on the environment and have essentially prepaid our energy bill for the long term. When our new facility was built in 2004, it was one of only five industrial facilities in the world to receive gold LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. To learn more about what makes our facilities lean and green, we invite you to take our building tour.

Through the use of renewable energy, a super-insulated structure, energy efficient windows, lighting and equipment, and a climate control system that optimizes energy performance, our green building uses one-fourth the energy that conventional buildings use. |

Protecting the quality of this precious resource is a top priority and one that we addressed with our new building. |

|
|
Through careful selection and sourcing of materials, green buildings
help preserve our natural resources. For us, it was not only important
where the products we chose were made, but how they were manufactured. |

The large windows in the warehouse give you the feeling of being outdoors…the radiant heating in the warehouse floor makes it a comfortable place to work.
