CIBSE BUILDING PERFORMANCE AWARDS Client of the Year
BBC Nominated by Arup
The BBC hits the headlines as it paves the way for reducing energy consumption in the television broadcasting industry, with a landmark study into the feasibility of low energy lighting use in TV studios
Arup’s BBC study revealed the potential to save between 30% and 50% of production energy lighting costs by using more effi cient light sources and improving energy management
As part of its new sustainability campaign ‘The Difference’, the BBC commissioned Arup to study the feasibility of low energy lighting use in TV studios. This was the fi rst time a TV broadcaster had recognised the importance of conducting a detailed investigation into sustainable lighting technologies. Arup’s study revealed the potential to
save between 30% and 50% of production energy lighting costs by using more effi cient light sources and improving energy management. The overall potential of annual carbon savings was estimated
as just over 8,000tCO2eq (tonnes of CO2 equivalent), a fi gure reviewed and approved by The Carbon Trust, which
funded part of the study as a result. To inform and persuade production staff in the television broadcasting
industry to adopt low energy lighting solutions, Arup produced a ‘one stop shop’ low energy lighting guide, which was presented at a workshop and is available online from the BBC website. The guide takes into account the creative, technological and operational aspects of TV production, and refl ects how behaviour can be changed. Following the project, several TV productions have adopted the low energy lighting solutions, resulting in energy savings of up to 40%. The BBC is recognised as an organisation at the pinnacle of the television broadcasting industry and, as a consequence, is highly infl uential. This ground-breaking project has allowed the BBC to pave the way for reducing energy consumption in the industry.
I like the idea that the client is constantly looking at its portfolio, learning lessons, and getting
