Energy
Our corporate office has several energy efficient systems in place, supporting Wright Service Corp.’s (WSC) commitment to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Our HVAC system is set up with an occupancy schedule to minimize HVAC demand when unoccupied. We are in the process of upgrading the HVAC system to maximize control and feedback of possible issues.
The grounds at the corporate office are nearly 100% LED. Most of the interior lighting is controlled by lighting schedules and occupancy sensors to minimize usage after hours. Exterior lighting is controlled by daylight sensors to ensure optimized usage throughout the changing seasons and weather.
We have four EV charging stations, conveniently located in our parking lot, allowing four vehicles to be charged simultaneously during business hours.

WSC’s electricity provider, MidAmerican Energy Company, has a 100% renewable energy vision. Their goal is to be net zero by 2050. In 2019, they produced 61.3% of annual energy needs with renewable energy and increased to 83.6% in 2020, and then 88.5% in 2021. MidAmerican has also reduced their CO2 emission by 58% since 2005. We can decrease our energy footprint due to MidAmerican’s vision.
In addition, the Information Technology (IT) department takes steps to reduce energy consumption with the devices they select for office and field staff use. IT plans to generate a reference guide for employees to
educate themselves on extending battery life for devices. The corporate office has three Canon copiers and five Lexmark printers. The Canon copiers are ENERGY STAR® certified. The default settings are established for energy efficiency and manufactured for low energy use.
