Addenbrooke's Hospital Service Areas
Addenbrooke’s Hospital saves £15,000 a year with LED lighting upgrade
Full Salix funding compliance achieved to deliver ROI in under five years
Case study
We undertook a lighting retrofit project in the Admin and Service areas, including 650 LED panels, tubes and lamps, as well as lighting controls and sensors.
The cost savings are £15,500 per year, and the carbon footprint has seen a reduction of 53% following the project, with energy savings of 121,281 kWh per year.
The project has a 5-year payback period.
The Client
Addenbrooke’s Hospital is a world-renowned teaching hospital in Cambridge celebrating its 250th anniversary this year.
Addenbrooke’s is part of Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, with strong connections to the University of Cambridge.
The Brief
SaveMoneyCutCarbon (SMCC) is a sustainability partner with Anglian Water Business (AWB) and was initially introduced to the hospital through AWB account manager Paul Vincent.
From this initial connection and subsequent meetings with Addenbrooke’s, SaveMoneyCutCarbon was invited to tender for the LED lighting upgrade for the Level 1 Service and Admin areas at Addenbrooke’s.
This project needed to include specific lighting controls in parts of the building. Equally important, the work had to be compliant with Salix funding criteria.
This meant that the lighting retrofit should deliver a Return on Investment within five years through energy savings.
Salix provides interest-free capital to public sector organisations for energy efficiency and carbon emissions reduction.
After a full site survey, an investment-ready proposal was prepared and checked through a Salix compliance tool to demonstrate the project met the funding organisation’s criteria. SMCC was successful and won the tender.
The Solution
All of the SMCC Field Services Team received a comprehensive Addenbrooke’s induction before starting the installation work.
The Field Services Team fitted 650 energy-saving LED panels, LED tubes and LED 2D lamps to match or improve the existing lighting conditions.
The client requested installation of Ex-Or by Honeywell sensors in offices and training rooms. These high-performance lighting controls deliver additional reductions of up to 70% energy use.
The user programmable lighting control system does not require specialist attendance to repair and programme.
This project was completed in June 2018.
