East of England Co-op
Double LED lighting win for Co-op businesses
Firms benefit from improved light quality and energy savings
Case study
Following the results of energy audits, the Co-op commissioned SaveMoneyCutCarbon to manage and install the LED lighting project at multiple sites.
Firms benefit from a 10x light quality improvement.
As a result of the installation, the carbon emissions have been reduced by 72% annually, and energy savings of between 42%-71%.
The Client
The East of England Co-op is the largest independent retailer in the area with a wide range of businesses it directly operates as well as providing leased premises for many other companies.
The Co-op’s Energy Management team is working closely with SaveMoneyCutCarbon to build on an exhaustive energy and water saving survey of the group’s properties across Suffolk, Essex and Norfolk.
The Brief
Two businesses renting premises from East of England Co-op and two of the group’s own companies focused on improving the quality of lighting while reducing energy consumption and associated carbon footprint, using savings to improve profitability.
The Solution
The tenant businesses – Suffolk Fasteners in Ipswich and TOGGS Menswear in Felixstowe – took advantage of the results of energy audits to make the move to energy-saving LED lighting that improved the ambience of the premises at the same time
This project was completed in March 2018.
Reduction of 72% in CO2 emissions per annum
