Edinburgh College Lighting Case Study
Luceco has recently supplied an energy saving LED lighting upgrade to several campuses at Edinburgh College including Sighthill, Milton Road, Granton, and Midlothian. As one of Scotland’s largest educational establishments, the College has over 19,000 students across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Ameresco is a leading renewable energy and energy efficiency company offering ESPC-funded energy solutions for public and private organisations. ESPC (Energy Saving Performance Contract) is a third-party financing mechanism that allows building owners to fund energy-saving upgrades through savings made from future utility bills. Ameresco chose Luceco as their preferred lighting manufacturer for Edinburgh College, and McCann Electrical Contractors based in Motherwell were chosen for the electrical installation throughout the campuses.
Many areas throughout the College benefited from the LED lighting upgrade. The Sighthill campus is located to the West of Edinburgh and hosts state-ofthe- art music and learning centres and has excellent sport
facilities. The Milton Road Campus is based in the East of Edinburgh providing modern facilities, in particular training restaurants and a purpose-built auditorium, with the Midlothian Campus, based in Dalkeith, providing one of the most advanced technology teaching centres in Scotland.
The sports and health facilities at Milton Road is equipped with the latest resistance training machines and cardio equipment. Platinum LED Downlights were installed in many of these areas including open plan communal spaces such as cafeterias and foyers and specialised learning centres, offering possible running cost savings of up to 80%.
