Overview: The Lockheed Martin Vermont facility, primarily manufactures armament systems as well as munitions, fire control systems, and advanced weapon systems sold domestically and to U.S. allies abroad. It was looking for a way to improve the performance of the ventilation system in their Lakeside Avenue industrial plating plant in Burlington, Vermont. Concerned with rising overhead rates, Lockheed Martin management targeted energy expenditures as a prime opportunity for cost savings. Plant staff considered a number of alternatives to further improve system performance, including the use of floating balls to reduce emissions and therefore the need for ventilation.
