Syntegra Consulting has successfully undertaken a FREE LED Feasibility study for Oakhill College in Middlesex. The FREE LED feasibility study involved a site survey and a feasibility report by Syntegra’s LED consultants. The FREE LED feasibility study assessed the potential for installing LED lamps by calculating the building’s current lighting electricity consumption and recommending LED options to reduce electricity costs and carbon emissions. The site survey determined the type, condition and quantity of existing lighting. Syntegra Consulting’s free on-site survey catalogued every existing light fitting and its current output. The information was collated and the current electricity consumption costs were calculated. The lighting site survey found the Oakhill College heavily relying on fluorescent lighting.
The recommendations given took into account lighting design, investment costs and payback periods. The LED feasibility presented total energy and carbon savings of 66%. In essence, a conversion from fluorescent lamps to LED lamps would generate energy savings of 57,300kWh per year and cabon savings of 24 tonnes per year. The feasibility study clearly shows the savings of LED Vs Fluorescent lights. The feasibility study was concluded with a proposal recommending new LED lamps or LED fitting retrofits, together with detailed investment and installation costs, as well as the payback period estimated at 3.7 years with LEDs Lifetime of 19 years
