Rosie Maternity Ward
Addenbrooke’s Hospital maternity ward cuts lighting costs by 63% a year with LEDs
Return on investment in just over three years with interest-free Salix funding
Case study
We completed a retrofit project of LED lighting upgrades for the ward.
The savings in lighting costs were cut by 63% a year with LEDs, and annual energy costs were reduced by £2,500.
The return on investment was 3.4 years with interest-free Salix funding.
The Client
Addenbrooke’s Hospital is part of Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and a world-leading teaching institution with strong connections to the University of Cambridge.
SaveMoneyCutCarbon has delivered successful energy-efficiency projects for Addenbrooke’s Hospital that have cut costs and reduced carbon emissions substantially.
The Brief
SaveMoneyCutCarbon has successfully completed cost-cutting energy-efficiency projects at the hospital and was asked to take on the LED lighting project in the hospital’s maternity ward.
It had to be compliant with Salix funding criteria, with sustainable and effective energy savings that ensured return on investment within five years.
Addenbrooke’s also underline the importance of reducing maintenance costs while optimising energy efficiency and controlling associated revenue costs.
The Solution
The maternity ward LED project was funded by an interest-free loan from Salix, which provides interest-free capital to public sector organisations for energy efficiency and carbon emissions reduction.
However, a central condition of the loan agreement is that payback must be achieved in under five years. Repayments are covered by savings through reduced energy costs.
This project was completed in April 2018.
