School saves 13 tonnes of CO2 with Tamlite’s customised LED lighting
A
Nottinghamshire school is saving more than £2,600 a year on electricity, following installation by Tamlite Lighting of LEDs
and bespoke light fittings for metal pan ceilings. With 2,600 students, Ashfield School was keen to be green, boost
energy efficiency and cut its carbon footprint. LEDs were identified as the product of choice, but fitting them was not straightforward. To prevent leaking of the school’s flat roofs, Burgess metal pan ceilings had been installed as they could be modified to fit the existing grid. Light fittings for this application needed to be customised. Usually this would threaten the tight timescales of project management. However, by using a lighting company with British manufacturing, Ashfield School secured customised lighting for its metal
pan ceilings.
A bespoke solution Manufacturing in the UK enabled Tamlite to make the bespoke
products very quickly. The sample was completed in 10 working days and within two weeks the school had the entire consignment. Electrical contractor, S Reddish & Son, installed 197 of the customised
Tamlite 600x600 EUROMOD LED panels in the classrooms. More than 300 EURO LED slim-line recessed downlights from Tamlite were also fitted in the corridors. These are controlled by ceiling-mounted occupancy sensors. The lighting quality is now much improved with the recessed fittings
giving off a comfortable, uniform light. Tamlite estimates that Ashfield School is saving 13.3 tonnes of CO2 a
year, as a result of the lighting upgrades. A 41% reduction in lighting energy consumption for those areas means a saving of 25,497 kWh (an annual cost saving of £2,679). Occupancy sensors in the corridors are likely to extend these savings
even further.

CP has supplied its Rapid and Vitesse Plus lighting control systems which were chosen for this project due to their flexibility and ease of configuration to any floor space layout. Rapid and Vitesse Plus systems were installed
throughout the distinctive Y shaped, training and teaching facility for Brighton and Hove Albion whose players are known as “The Seagulls”.
The new building includes 11 full and half
size pitches, an indoor pitch to provide all year round playing facilities and a secure accommodation area for the club’s professional squad and academy youth team. A separate wing is used for common
recreation, medical treatment area, gym, offices, teaching space and a media centre. The whole

facility has been designed to meet the Premier League’s Elite Player Performance Plan. Supplied by Newey & Eyre, Crawley and installed by NG Bailey, CP’s Rapid fully addressable and networkable system has been used within all areas of the new training centre. Combining advanced technology with an
easy to use graphical interface, Rapid’s modular controls can be networked together on each floor or for multi floor layouts can be linked together using Rapid Area Controllers. The system can be easily incorporated into
any building design and can be configured to control specific rooms, floors or entire multi floor building functions. The use of CP’s Rapid at the new training centre has provided easy control of scene setting in training and meeting room areas. CP’s Vitesse Plus lighting distribution system has also been installed in offices, toilets and corridors for presence detection and, for office areas with natural lighting, it also incorporates daylight dimming.
Vitesse Plus adds intelligence and SELV
control inputs to CP’s range of lighting control systems. Each Vitesse Plus lighting control module has 10 luminaire outputs which can be configured as three channels for switching and dimming. The Vitesse system also assists with the testing of emergency lighting and provides a high level of lighting control without the need for a control network function.
