These include features like waterless urinals, sound and motion activated lighting, walk-off grates to reduce dust carried into the building, preferred parking for low-emission vehicles, and an advanced air filtration system throughout the structure.
The space of the facility is dominated by the warehouse, which ships out thousands of packages each day. Compatible products made to replace printer brands as well as re-manufactured products, which are cleaned, repaired, refilled, packaged and moved through the LD Products warehouse to be shipped to customers.
The energy used to power the warehouse automation and conveyor system, lights, and air-conditioning system as well as the energy used in the corporate offices, which now stay open 14 hours per day, is provided completely from renewable energy sources. The grid-connected photovoltaic system on the warehouse rooftop accounts for 18% of that energy.
