Big Green Electrical

Background

Reducing Energy Costs

The work involved a car park that consisted of 9 floors with around 30-40 watt fluorescent strip lights per floor, one light over every other parking bay.

These lights were on constantly 24 hours a day, 7 days per week resulting in a high electricity bill for the council each month.

We were asked to source an alternate method of lighting the car park so the users would still have adequate lighting, but the council would see a considerable reduction in the cost of electricity.

Estimated Savings of £27,000

The Solution

Our Approach

With the help of a lighting specialist from Ovia who are part of the Scolmore Group we were able to offer a solution to use Anti-Corrosive Linear lights that would be on permanently and Anti-Corrosive Linear light with microwave sensor.

The microwave sensor within the light fitting has dip switches that allows the flexibility of setting the fitting to activate on a person approaching, within a set distance and activate for a set time.

This therefore allowed adequate lighting on floors with the lights that were on during the course of the day and additional lighting for car park users as the light reduced and people walked under the microwave sensor LED fittings.
