RUGBY BOROUGH COUNCIL TOWN HALL

Fulfilling the Carbon Management Plan

Rugby Borough Council needed to upgrade their lighting systems as part of their Carbon Management Plan (CMP) - a mandatory scheme aimed at improving energy efficiency and cutting emissions in large public and private sectors organisations. Ecolight was selected via a competitive tender to design, supply, install, manage, and commission a new system including emergency lighting and interconnection with the building energy management system for the whole town hall.

Results
The new lighting system enabled Rugby Borough Council to fulfil its commitment to the CMP, including the minimisation of operating costs, maintenance costs and CO2 emissions. In addition, the new lighting system have provided: Bright and visually pleasing light quality Standardisation of lighting throughout the building Predicted annual savings of 18.200

Challenge
Lighting systems needed to be upgraded in all areas of the building, including offices, corridors, storerooms, toilets and stairwells. In offices it was necessary to provide a comfortable and naturally lit environment for people to work in that took into account their individual needs. In addition it was necessary to comply with the following: Current building regulations Current legislation British Standards Rugby Borough Council lighting specification codes.

Solution
Ecolight undertook an in-depth, room-by-room lighting survey of the whole building. The resulting report detailed existing energy consumption and demonstrated the savings that could be made by switching to Lylux products. At every stage of the project Ecolight worked closely with the RBC team to ensure that user requirements were met in all areas of the building, that savings were maximised and the solution was aesthetically pleasing. Installation in the communal areas had to be carried out during working hours, so Ecolight engaged with RBC staff to design a work schedule that caused minimal disruption. The office installation was done outside working hours to ensure that inconvenience to staff was minimal and no work time was lost. In order to maximise savings, stairwells, toilets and corridor luminaires were fitted with PIR detectors that dimmed the lighting down to 20% of full power when there is no movement detected in the area.
