NEW PARTNERSHIP CREATES all-in-one sustainable solution
in many installations across the world, including Manchester United’s hospitality suites at Old Trafford, Microsoft’s Kista office in northern Stockholm, BMW’s showroom in Rome and now the First Direct Arena in Leeds. The DALI driver can save additional energy by allowing users to dim lights through the DALI interface. Russell Fletcher, sales and marketing director at Harvard Engineering, commented, “Sustainability is an important part of our own long term strategy. We are constantly reviewing our processes, suppliers and partners and are delighted to be working with High Technology Lighting to provide our customers with solutions that reduce long term energy use and CO2
High Technology Lighting and Harvard Engineering have collaborated together to install an energy saving and CO2 reducing solution at the recently opened First Direct Arena in Leeds
T
he new arena in Leeds has saved approximately 80% of energy
compared to a conventional lighting solution, following the installation of over 300 fixed and adjustable downlights and track spotlights. The combined solution incorporates Harvard’s DALI driver, part of the energy saving CoolLED range, placed inside High Technology Lighting’s Quartet fittings. Both High Technology Lighting and Harvard are well known for their energy saving products. High Technology Lighting’s Quartet range incorporates Xicato’s LED technology, which incorporates sustainable credentials. The company has also recently installed SolidWorks, a 3D software tool allowing product designers to create, simulate, publish and manage data, to establish Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Environment Product Declarations (EPD) for each product it creates. Thomas Holgeth, joint managing
director of High Technology Lighting said, “As a company we have a commitment to being energy efficient and sustainable. Sustainability is no longer simply about ensuring products are energy efficient when in use, but also about the components and processes used in manufacturing them. With our partners we have developed a sustainable

Above: the combined High Technology Lighting and Harvard solution installed at the First Direct Arena in Leeds
supports customers with their own CSR.” Since the installation of the combined
High Technology Lighting and Harvard lighting solution, the First Direct Arena has been awarded with a Very Good rating by BREEAM, making it the most sustainable arena in the UK.

Lutterworth Ecolighting has cut annual lighting costs and CO2
consumption by more than 70% at
the Milton Keynes distribution centre of global beverage can manufacturer Rexam, by installing a new energy saving lighting system. Lutterworth Ecolighting were called in to provide
advice on energy saving opportunities across its 100,000ft2
warehouse that stores cans for drinks
producing customers Carlsberg and Coca-Cola. Following a product trial, which demonstrated
that significant improvements could be made, the company was awarded a contract to provide a new lighting system at the facility. Lutterworth Ecolighting specified its Industrial
Hi-Saver with energy saving lamps for all areas, each with a built in programmable high bay PIR (passive infrared sensor) and daylight harvesting sensor. A total of 79 units have been fitted, which replace the existing inefficient metal halide discharge lights. With its own manufacturing and installation team, Lutterworth Ecolighting was able to sequence a
turnkey fit-out when can storage was at a minimum - usually cans are stacked close to the roof for maximum space utilisation to avoid site disruption. Annual energy consumption has been cut from
over 237,000kWh to under 64,000kWh, with the CO2 footprint reduced from 105,000kg to around 28,500kg. A return on investment is forecasted in less than two years. Light levels have also been increased in all areas, providing an enhanced and safer working environment.
