LCW Saving Certificate

We are excited to announce that we are now a Low Carbon Workspace!

We have received a Low Carbon Workspaces grant to install LED Lighting, reducing our carbon footprint by 1.6 tonnes CO2e / year*.

How were lighting savings calculated?

The reduction in energy usage achieved through the project was calculated by multiplying the difference in wattage between the existing lighting and the replacement LED lighting by hours of operation, on an area-by-area basis. The energy saving was converted to a greenhouse gas emissions saving using the carbon conversion figure for UK grid-supplied electricity, as published by the Government at the date of project installation (November, 2022).

Annual lighting electricity usage:

Pre-installation = 17,157 kWh

Post-installation = 9,714 kWh

Percent reduction in lighting load = -43%

Energy saving:

Annual electricity saving = 7,443 kWh

Carbon saving:

Carbon conversion UK grid electricity (2022-23) = 0.21107 kg CO2e / kWh

Annual saving = 1.571 tonnes CO2e
