Delta Airlines is going to retrofit its fleet with LED Lights to increase fleet efficiency.With 1224 planes in its massive fleet, Delta Air Lines is world’s largest airline. As such, operational costs in this razor-thin margin business are of utmost importance.New products are one way to reduce those operational and even more expensive maintenance costs.
Madelec T800 LED Tubes are compatible with old tech CCFL, and offer considerable savings in weight, longevity and power consumption.
Even though neither the carrier nor the company released more details, T800 should reduce power consumption in double-digit percentages, leading to a miniscule but still bottom-line affecting reduction in fuel burn and emissions.
ABB Robotics is driving automation in the construction industry with new robotic automation solutions to address key challenges, including the need for more affordable and environmentally friendly housing and to reduce the environmental impact of construction, amidst a labor and skills shortage.

The City of Cowansville in south-central Quebec is the largest city in the Brome-Missisquoi region, with more than 15,000 residents. Despite being a smaller-sized city, it is known as an economic and industrial hub.
It also has a strong focus on innovation and efficiency — as demonstrated by decisions such as the one it made in 2017 to use beet juice to help combat icy winter roads, allowing the City to reduce the amount of salt it was using, thereby saving money and decreasing the impact on the environment.

The writing was on the wall. The closures would happen. But a lot of people were upset, and I was one of them.
In the early 2000s, my family and I were living in a mainly rural (at least by city dweller standards) valley in south central British Columbia. The West Kootenay region is known for its diverse outdoor recreation activities and as a great place to raise a family.
