Gymboree Distribution Center
Motivated to make a difference, Gymboree set out to make its new distribution center a great place to work and minimize its impact on the environment. Daylighting created a bright and airy working environment with illuminance levels ranging from 50 to 200 foot-candles during the day. Energy savings from daylighting controls alone are estimated at 1.2 kWh/sq.ft.-yr or $28,000 per year. Read the entire PG&E Report: PG&E Daylighting Initiative Gymboree.
