Epping Forest Campus, New City College
Project overview
Located in the Essex town of Loughton, Epping Forest Campus is part of the New City College (NCC) group and regularly records exam results that are 4% higher than the national average. But while its academic standards might be formidable, its lighting infrastructure left much to be desired prior to a recent upgrade by the Energys Group.
Energys’ forecasts indicate that the campus will benefit hugely from its new lighting. On the back of a total project cost of £302,034 and expect- ed annual energy savings of £60,849 (and 419,649 kW), it is projected that there will be a return on investment period of only 5 years. The upgrade is also good news for the environment, with the campus set to reduce its carbon footprint by 128.92 tCO2 per year.
Outcomes
- Complete upgrade from fluorescent to LED lighting, involving more than 3,400 new fittings
- Campus-wide installation includes IntelliDim LED Panels, LED Downlights and Wall Lights, IP65 Rated Fittings, and other products from the Energys range
- Return on investment of 5 years predicted on a £300K total project cost
- College expected to reduce its carbon footprint by 128.92 tons of CO2 per year
