The Sustainability group in the City of Baltimore government asked Energy Efficient Technologies to assist in deploying technology to reduce carbon footprint and utility bill costs.

One of these locations was Meals on Wheels, a sizable restaurant and distribution center.

DELIVERING SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A MEAL

Meals on Wheels has been guided by a single goal since the first known U.S. delivery by a small group of Philadelphia citizens in 1954 – to support our senior neighbors to extend their independence and health as they age. What started as a compassionate idea has grown into one of the largest and most effective social movements in America, currently helping nearly 2.4 million seniors annually in virtually every community in the country.

This particular facility in Baltimore uses a tremendous amount of energy as they prepare and deliver 3-4 Million meals a year.

  • 426 lamps and fixtures replaced with LED
