Minimise LEDs light up the circus29 Sep 2015 14:38
Minimise Energy has replaced the outdated fluorescent lights at the National Centre for Circus Arts with energy efficient LEDs, saving 20,093 kWh of lighting energy a year.
Throughout the upgrade programme, 58W fluorescent tubes have been replaced with 28W LED tubes.
The upgrade not only reduces the National Centre's annual lighting bill by £2,029 a year - it also cuts their carbon emissions by 13.42 tonnes a year. Over five years, the carbon emissions saved will be equivalent to the impact made by 11.4 acres of forests.
In addition, the National Centre will make maintenance savings as LEDs have significantly longer lifespans and require far less ongoing maintenance. The maintenance saving over five years will be in excess of £14,000.
The National Centre for Circus Arts is a registered charity and one of Europe's leading providers of circus education. Based in Hoxton, thousands of people attend the centre each year to learn and perform circus arts, juggling, aerial circus, acrobatics and more. - See more at: http://specificationonline.co.uk/news-article/9039/minimise-energy-minimise-leds-light-up-the-circus#sthash.bJjklYXb.dpuf
