Campus LED lighting replacement project
Substituting inefficient fluorescent lights with energy-efficient LED lights to enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.
As part of the University’s drive to be more sustainable this project aimed to enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions across several buildings on campus by substituting inefficient fluorescent lights with energy-efficient LED lights.
Over time, the project is expected to make significant energy savings as well as improve lighting quality for building users across Biology L, Biology M, Biology Q, and Harry Fairhurst.
The project:
- Replaced over 2,000 fluorescent lights with LED lights.
- Achieved a 15-20% reduction in total energy usage in completed buildings.
- Combine LED installation with solar panels and behavioural change programs to further reduce energy demand.
