In recent years, the University of Wolverhampton has invested £125 million in improvements across its various sites. This has included a refurbishment of its largest library facility, the Harrison Library, upgrading from outdated, inefficient fluorescent luminaires to an energy-saving, SmartScan-controlled Thorlux LED lighting system.
To fulfil this project, Thorlux supplied a mixture of standard SmartScan luminaires and bespoke retrofit LED light engines to fit the existing fixed linear ceiling lights. Over 340 of these purpose-designed retrofit units have been installed across the ground and first floors of the library. This has significantly reduced the amount of waste from the renovation project as the existing luminaire bodies have been kept in use.
The new system has reduced lighting energy consumption at the Harrison Library by 84% annually, saving more than £63,500 and reducing CO₂e emissions by over forty-five tonnes each year.
