R Systems constantly evaluates new technologies and makes appropriate investments to be energy efficient. Currently, the Company uses LED/CFL fittings and electronic ballasts to reduce power consumption of fluorescent tubes. The air is conditioned with energy efficient compressors for central air conditioning and with split air conditioning for localized areas.
