EcolightingUK was specified for the LED lighting at a new build 46,000m 2 clothing and home distribution centre in Hatfield as part of a five-year transformation plan for a large UK retailer. The existing site, which opened recently, was formerly used by another retailer and has been converted into a mechanised clothing distribution centre and serves 150 stores in the South East and employs more than 500 people.

The specification was to install LED luminaires inside the distribution centre alongside a RAPID emergency monitoring system. The site was also fitted with external lighting.
Split into two warehouses, Boxed (boxed items) and Hanging (hanging garments), both buildings have been installed with automation so that products are able to be transported between floors.
The Boxed warehouse and The Hanging Garment warehouse combined have been fitted with more than 13,600 of Ecolighting’s Sapphire luminaires with 3,600 programmable dimmable sensors providing background lighting after non-occupancy and 10,000 switching sensors. Both warehouses also benefit from over 2,600 Altos emergency lighting LED luminaires and each have the RAPID Emergency system installed.
Ecolighting’s Sapphire is one of the company’s most popular LED luminaires that is designed for use in commercial and industrial environments.
For the outside areas at the site, 100W and 200W Atlantis LED floodlights and 35W, 60W and 200W Medusa amenity lights were selected. With energy savings of up to 90 per cent compared to halogen lamp floodlights, the frosted tempered glass cover for uniform illumination offers IP65 protection and a luminaire efficacy of up to 115 lumens per watt.

Scottish technology company arbnco has been selected as the delivery partner for a first-of-its-kind smart street lighting pilot in Lincolnshire, in partnership with South Kesteven District Council, which draws to a close this month. In addition to providing the highest quality LED street lighting, arbnco has deployed IoT technology to monitor air quality and footfall in the community during the trial. The pilot will help the Council reduc e its energy consumption, and support its ambition to reduce its carbon footprint by 30 per cent before 2030. It is expected to deliver energy savings of at least 60 per cent.
Tw elve street light heads have been installed for the pilot, which will collect data on their surroundings: four on a public footpath in Grantham; four at Stamford bus station; and four at Cattle Market car park in Stamford. They are fully integrated with smart technology, offering sensor control and dimming, with some of the lights also providing air quality and video monitoring. Data collected by the lights is streamed in real time to a control dashboard via the cloud, allowing the Council to make informed data-led decisions, interventions and optimisation strategies. The LED chips used in the light heads are mor e durable and efficient than the existing metal halide lamps across the district, and will generate a minimum of 60 per cent reduction in energy cost for the council during the trial period.
All twelve street lights are fitted with timing and dimming controls to reduce their energy consumption through the night. Smart street light project makes savings ONLINE ENQUIRY 107
A/C brings comfort to new-build offices
Nursing and care home supplier Acticare is now able to provide heating, comfort cooling, and fresh air ventilation to its employees with the installation of air conditioning from Mitsubishi Electric.
The new-build, two-floor facility in Hereford comprises open-plan spaces, satellite offices and meeting rooms. The company was looking for a system which delivered a fresh, temperate working environment for its office staff to help maximise workplace productivity and wellbeing. The solution is R32 Hybrid VRF air conditioning working in tandem with a Lossnay heat recovery ventilation system, to deliver perfect levels of comfort and fresh air in one of the most energy efficient ways possible. The Hybrid VRF system differs from traditional VRF as it uses water throughout the majority of its pipework instead of refrigerant but is still able to simultaneously heat and cool different rooms..
The company worked with EMS Ltd to design and install the new system. EMS is a business solutions partner with Mitsubishi Electric and has worked with the manufacturer for many years. ONLINE ENQUIRY 104
Energy cuts put the fizz into bottling line
A year after Japan-based Suntory Beverage & Food announced its £13m investment in Lucozade Ribena Suntory’s Coleford factory, the company has launched its new energyand water-efficient production line.
The high-speed bottling line fills 55,000 bottles an hour, enabling Lucozade Ribena Suntory to keep up with the demand for its drinks.
This new line forms part of Suntory’s global sustainability strategy by reducing the amount of water and energy used during the manufacturing process. Producing a bottle on the new line requires 40 per cent less energy and water than the previous line. This is in part due to world-class innovation such as new dry aseptic technology, which uses heat and pressurised air instead of water to clean bottles before they are filled. These efficiency improvements represent a 4.4 per cent reduction of energy and water consumption for the Coleford site as a whole.
The Royal Forest Factory is at the heart of Lucozade Ribena Suntory’s UK operations and is already one of the most efficient factories under the Suntory brand. This investment from parent company Suntory Beverage & Food is in recognition of the UK factory’s status and reflects the business’ ambition to reduce its impact on the environment.
