LED Retrofit & EV Fleet Charging Solutions
“We made a pledge to be net-zero carbon by 2030. I wanted sustainability to be part of our ethos from day one.”

Founder & Chief Friendship Officer of Nossa Familia Coffee
Nossa Familia Coffee has placed sustainability at the core of their company mission — a mission that’s been reinforced by their commitment to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2030. In an effort to reach this lofty goal, their team leveraged PEC’s efficiency expertise to find additional ways they could optimize their energy use. Here’s how our team made an impact.
Our first project with Nossa Familia was helping them optimize their energy use through upgraded facillity lighting system — helping transition from power-hungry, outdated technology to an energy-efficient LED design. After conducting a thorough audit of Nossa Familia’s existing system, and working with them to understand how the space was used, we designed and deployed and LED retrofit that both improved the lighting for their team, while cutting out wasted energy.Â
One of my coffee roaster friends introduced me to PEC, and it almost seemed too good to be true. It wasn’t going to cost that much up front, and within a year we’re saving hundreds of dollars on lighting

Nossa continued on their journey to net-zero emissions by invested in an all-electric van fleet for their coffee deliveries. And to power this fleet, they needed an EV charging solution developed at their roasting facility.
Our team worked with Nossa Familia to serve as their “easy button” for this project — providing them with an expertly designed solution, while they focused on their day-to-day operations. This process included:
“I believe we are going to be the first coffee roaster in Portland, maybe Oregon, to have fully electric deliveries, and as part of that we needed charging infrastructure. And that’s not a simple project . . . having everything handed to us was really great.
