Accounting for roughly 19 per cent of total world energy use, lighting is a major source of energy consumption but also offers a significant opportunity to reduce energy usage. Between 2010 and 2011, wholesale energy costs rose by a staggering 66.6 per cent and it is widely accepted that energy costs are to continue rising by a further 20 per cent. With an extensive knowledge base of industry experts and technologically advanced products, Thorn Lighting is the UK & Ireland’s number one lighting manufacture and is perfectly placed to deliver unrivalled commercial low energy solutions that balance the total cost of ownership and commercial viability. “As the cost of energy continues to rise year-on-year,
it’s worth knowing that businesses investing in the latest technology can reduce energy consumption by up to 82 per cent.” Said Nick Clark, Sales Director of Thorn Energy Solutions. “Thorn Energy Solutions offers organisations the opportunity to assess their entire lighting infrastructure and work more effectively to choose the best technology to reduce energy costs and the total cost of ownership.”

SUCCESSFUL ENERGY MANAGEMENT! On Thursday 23 February 2012, the Energy Services and Technology Association (ESTA) will be holding its annual aM&T conference, looking at the ways in which automatic Monitoring & Targeting (aM&T) can help managers manage energy and comply with new regulatory requirements.
The focus this year will be firmly on the roll-out of smart meters. The programme is nearing implementation stage and will affect every organisation in the country. Smart meters combined with aM&T provide the key to a coordinated approach to current and upcoming legislative changes, including Display Energy Certificates (DECs), CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme compliance and the
12
EU Emissions Trading Scheme. A series of ‘clinics’ running throughout the day will enable delegates to discuss real issues with experts from across the industry. For anyone interested in controlling energy and influencing behaviour, this annual event provides invaluable food for thought. To register for the 2012
ESTA aM&T Conference and Exhibition, being held on 23 February 2012 at the E.ON Lounge in the Ricoh Arena, Coventry, visit the ESTA website at:
