LIGHTING EFFICIENCY PROJECT (Unipart Warwickshire)

The lighting efficiency project encompassed all areas. In the main warehouse the old-style discharge lamps were changed for high efficiency hi-bay fluorescent luminaires, coupled with daylight-linked controls, to switch off unnecessary lights when the ambient light was sufficient, and occupancy detection to switch off lamps when nobody was there. The results of the above are half-hourly monitored to ensure actual realisation of the cash savings.

All offices were fitted with appropriate daylight and motion-sensing automated control switches and the exterior front loading bay area and the rear yard was lit at night with Hi-Brightness LED power-white floodlights, giving reduced power consumption and at least 10 years between lamp replacements.

60% of electricity consumption is being saved. A results summary is contained in the Case Study PDF document (click button).
