Recognising the need to reduce its lighting energy spend and maintain good illumination in its external car parking areas, Spire Healthcare invited Future Energy Solutions (FES) to undertake a comprehensive feasibility study to scope the objectives and determine the optimal LED lighting and commercial solution.
FES created a full project scope for the supply and installation of LED lighting, and a fully comprehensive rollout plan began in June 2014
Now in situ, the luminaires have achieved over 70 per cent energy savings from a simple point-for-point replacement, and 25 per cent better light output. They also offer an enhanced rated life ‘3-20 times’ that of the old luminaires.
The new lighting should save Spire Healthcare over £525,000 over a 10-year period – including over £385,000 in energy savings, over £110,000 in maintenance costs, and £27,000 in environmental tax savings related to its inclusion in the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme.
FES added: “With an overall energy usage reduction of over 266,000 kWh, the environmental impact will also be significant, with CO2, mono-nitrogen oxide, and sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions all drastically lowered. Alongside the financial savings, the lit environment has been significantly improved.” (see photo).
