The day to day operations of school are complicated enough – coordinating loads of students, school schedules and timings. Add to this the need for a lighting upgrade across the entire school, and it could be a recipe for disaster.
Luckily when Cabramatta High School needed an energy efficient lighting upgrade, they knew who to call upon. Entities can reduce their energy by replacing old inefficient lights with energy efficient LED lighting – and in NSW this cost is subsidised. Cabramatta High saw all the benefits of upgrading their lighting, including:
- Reduce Electricity Costs
With rising electricity costs becoming an ongoing issue, switching to LED lights can make an instant impact. Compared to traditional bulbs, LED lights can use up to 90 percent less energy. Also, as they grow in demand the cost to purchase LEDs has reduced significantly.
- LEDs have longer life span
With a longer life span, not only are you using less energy but you’re also having to replace them less often too. More $$$ savings and a reduced impact on the environment. LEDs also malfunction less – an added bonus.
- Environmentally Friendly
Using less energy, LEDs are simply better for the environment. They also don’t contain toxic elements such as mercury, so they are easier to recycle.
- Safer Lighting Option
LEDs run much cooler, so they are less prone to heating and causing fires too.
So the benefits are clear – and were clear to Cabramatta High School. Rapid Electrical came in and removed the old non-energy efficient lighting and installed new energy efficient lighting – helping the school to start saving money immediately.
How was this possible while working within school schedules and timings, students and traffic flow? Rapid Electrical takes the time upfront to learn your site. We start with a site establishment to learn your site layout and the best times and ways to perform work throughout the day. Then we implement our specific delivery system that we developed which ensures projects are delivered on time, with minimal downtime and zero defects. To minimise disruption, we ensure a daily site clean is performed too.
“We work on all sites. From schools with hundreds of students, to warehouses that handle food, and corporate offices with multi-level requirements. If we can work on these sites successfully, we can work on your site too” says Greg Holden, Director of Rapid Electrical.
