Energy efficient warehouse

The 165,000 square foot warehouse required an energy efficient lighting system that is fully compliant with new building regulations specified by the Department of Energy.

To future proof the site, a new Bus Bar and lighting distribution board were installed along with 180 Rackmaster fittings with 73w energy saver lamps and 42 Industrial Hi-saver fittings, both with a combination of switching and dimming sensors to maximise energy savings. With its in-house installation team, the energy efficient lighting specialist was able to complete what would normally be a nine-week project in three weeks.

Bunzl established a target energy consumption figure of 1.8 watts per square metre per 100 lux to ensure the most efficient building. With Lutterworth Ecolighting’s system, a 1.37 rating per 100 lux has been achieved, exceeding Bunzl’s expectations. The new very efficient lighting system is low maintenance and provides long-term energy savings.

Bunzl operations director Max Harris says: “They provided a complete turnkey solution from survey and design to manufacture and installation.”
