Introduction

• In the past years Rugby Borough Council has taken measures in cutting down on wasted energy.

• Meter readings were taken manually and given to the energy supplier. This contributed to bill validation and eliminated estimated billing.

• False billing has been eliminated by identifying redundant and non existent meters.

• New supplier contracts have been set up for suppliers to provide actual readings rather than estimated readings.

• Significant reduction in billing is seen in slides to follow

Corporate Energy Costs

Achievements & Progress to dateProjects already implemented

•Town hall voltage optimisation

•Closure of Redundant buildings

•Heating schedule checks (BEMS set points)

•Energy Management (Monitoring, Recording & Reporting)•Installation of LED lighting to John Barford car park

Case studyThe secret :

•To show success with an initial project that demonstrates a strong financial return.

•Implement a project with a positive Environmental Impact.

That’s;

Replacement of T8 5ft fluorescent tubes and fitting with Lylux- 5ft LED and fittings with sensors

Case Study

John Barford Multi-Storey Car Park

LED lighting to a Multi-storey Car Park

•Complete Lamp/Luminaires & Lighting controls(sensors) ,supply and fit to 389 fittings.

•Project Cost £49 950 including installation

Evidence of ChangeJohn Barford Car Park

lighting• Impact• Reduced electric energy consumption:75% saving In

one quarter .• Reduced annual running costs from £13,232 to £2,742• Improved Energy efficiency to the car Park• Improved Lighting Control• Improved Lighting levels hence Customer satisfaction.• Positive Environmental impact

Challenges• To Believe in LED (new technology),as the

most cost effective solution for the car Park.

• To design for sensors and timers to maximise energy savings while providing adequate lighting where necessary.

• To manage the project during Christmas period and ensure minimum disruptions to the daily use of the car park.

Summary

• LED with controls is the way forward. It cuts down on energy usage while producing a positive effect on budgets

• Final Thought…….Energy reduction

saves money
