A recent lighting recycling and refurbishment project at the University of Bedfordshire’s Bedford campus has been recognised with a national award.
Luton-based Chalmor Limited managed the refurbishment of some 1200 light fittings across the Bedford campus. The new lighting installation is expected to achieve annual cost savings for the University of up to 45 per cent.
The University had identified the project as an opportunity to improve lighting quality and layouts as well as reduce maintenance costs in the longer term.
Chalmor Limited was the overall winner in the Lumicom and Recolight Recycling Award, which was judged in the Energy Management and Innovation in Lighting Award Scheme (EMILAS) recently held in London.
Adam Higgin, Energy and Environment Manager at the University said: “The University has received some very positive feedback about the improved lighting quality. The project will also help the University’s ISO14001 bid and sustainability status.
“The EMILAS award is testimony to the scale and ambitions of this energy efficiency project and the environmental challenges arising from replacing the lighting, minimising waste and recycling.”
Steven Henry, Managing Director from Chalmor Limited said: “We were delighted to receive this award. This was a comprehensive project to renew light fittings, including emergency lighting, across the Bedford campus.”
