New lighting and lower cost
This installation was carried out at no upfront cost to the school, due to eEnergy’s unique compliant funding options.
The challenge
Purley Oaks Primary is a community school in Croydon with over 650 pupils. Looking to reduce energy consumption and costs, Purley Oaks approached eEnergy to upgrade its lighting.
After a detailed survey of the school, eEnergy found poor lighting levels and outdated, inefficient fluorescent lighting. The existing lighting had high running costs and provided poor light quality, making visual tasks more difficult. Many of the fittings were nearing end-of-life or were already obsolete, contributing to high maintenance costs.
The solution
eEnergy provided a turnkey solution, encompassing survey, design, installation, and maintenance. Our enhanced DBS-checked team completed the work outside of school hours to minimise disruption to usual operations.
We sourced high quality fittings from leading European manufacturers and implemented point-for-point replacement. Across the school, eEnergy installed 486 new light fittings, including 105 emergency fittings.
Not only will Purley Oaks Primary School save £80,061 over the next 10 years, they will also significantly reduce their carbon footprint, supporting the school’s sustainability goals. In total they will reduce their CO2 emissions by 160 tonnes over 10 years. That is the equivalent of over 397,000 miles worth of driving in a standard family car or as much carbon as 2,646 trees would capture in ten years.
The results
- 15-25% increase in lux levels, resulting in improved working and learning environment
- Cash positive from day one, with savings of £2,933 in the first year
- 21-year expected lifetime for lighting
- 62% reduction in lighting costs
Testimonial
eEnergy provided an excellent lighting solution for our school, replacing our old, tired and costly-to-run lights with no upfront cost. Install was straightforward and since making the switch we have significantly reduced our energy bills and carbon footprint, and have no maintenance. Staff have commented that the new lighting is much better and it has really improved the classroom environment.
