Aquinas College, Greater Manchester
Energys Group helps Aquinas College progress decarbonisation strategy with major lighting upgrade.
Project overview
Based in Stockport, Greater Manchester, Aquinas College is a Roman Catholic sixth form college established in 1980 – although its naming after 13th century priest and philosopher Thomas Aquinas places it in a much longer lineage.
However, the college’s interest in new technologies and environmental improvements is anything but retrospective, and in this regard it recently took a big step forward with the installation at its main campus of a comprehensive new LED lighting system and boiler optimisers from Energys Group.
Outcomes
- Upgrade from fluorescent to LED lighting, and installation of boiler optimisers
- Project undertaken in Q1 2021 and completed before 31 March deadline required by the PSDS
- Energys Group supplied and installed the new equipment, having also helped the college to complete the funding application
