All-in on energy optimisation
REPLACING ALL OFFICE LIGHTING WITH LOW-ENERGY SOLUTIONS REDUCES ENERGY CONSUMPTION, IS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND SAVES ON THE ELECTRICITY BILL.
Plesner has been focusing on energy optimi- sation for several years, in particular since 2015 when we started a gradual transition to LED lighting.
More specifically, energy consumption has been reduced from 32W to 13W per light source. With more than 1,100 ceiling lights
distributed on 17,000 m2 office space it means a total reduction
of the annual electricity con- sumption of approximately
90,000 kilowatt hours, equalling around 10% of the total electricity consump-
tion. As electricity consump- tion from light sources makes
up around 50% of the total electricity consumption, savings amount to approximately 20%. Since we
started this energy-optimising journey, we have reduced our overall energy consump- tion by 30%.
"During the past year we have
expanded the project and have
gone all-in to find the best
solutions for office lighting
energy-wise. Starting by re-
placing individual light sources
that were not direct workplace
lighting, we have now replaced
lighting in all offices in the building.
It has resulted in a marked reduction of the environmental impact and savings on our electricity bill", says Service Manager Char- lotte Lindahl.
SINCE WE STARTED THIS ENERGY-OPTIMISING JOURNEY, WE HAVE REDUCED OUR OVERALL ENERGY CONSUMPTION BY 30%.
