New and innovative lighting technology is helping both public and private sector organisations meet their energy saving targets Energy wastage has always been a problem for schools, colleges and public buildings, but with increasingly tight budgets and pressure to reduce CO2 emissions, now is the time to face up to the challenge in reducing energy costs. Historically, lighting has accounted for a large proportion of energy costs in public buildings. However new and innovative technology is giving schools and colleges the opportunity to reduce lighting costs by up to 90 per cent.
