Continued from page 10
In 2008, Coldspring imple- mented a long-term plan to re- duce energy usage by 2 percent every year and to date their an- nual average energy reduction has exceeded that goal with an anticipated 10 percent reduction for 2019. These achievements are a result of the completion of a wide variety of innovative proj- ects including wide-scale custom equipment upgrades and ener- gy-efficient LED lighting.
In addition to implementing custom equipment and lighting, Coldspring has added new pro- cesses to save energy, including renewable wind through Xcel’s WIndsource program. In August 2019, Coldspring installed more than 3,000 solar electric panels at its Minnesota headquarters. The 1-megawatt ground array system covers approximately 5 acres and – along with renewable wind energy – is helping Coldspring achieve an estimated reduction in energy consumption of 12 percent each year.
“Coldspring has a history of demonstrating leadership for the environment not only in the state of Minnesota but also within the natural stone industry,” says Kathy Spanier, Director of Marketing at Coldspring. “In 2006, we began working within the stone industry to form a sus- tainability committee which would later implement the in- dustry’s first third-party-verified standard to recognize the sustain- able production of natural stone, ANSI/NSC 373. Reducing en- ergy consumption has played an important role in Coldspring’s ability to achieve ANSI/NSC 373 certifications at various locations.”
