Design Lighting Creates Low Energy Lighting for School

Posted: 03 April 2009
Wilts Electrical Wholesaler’s independent lighting business, Design Lighting has announced an £8 million project to create a low energy lighting system for Bishops Cleeve School, Cheltenham. The school’s main priority was to design a well lit environment to ensure pupils are alert and don’t suffer fatigue through poorly lit classrooms. Design Lighting worked with contractors, Norwest Holst and electrical contractors Avon Combined Electrical Services (ACES) to complete the project.

It was essential to incorporate an automated working environment to guarantee energy saving without the need of human interaction. All classrooms and common areas are controlled with the use of detection and daylight dimming control. The atrium lighting is controlled via a daylight switch to ensure that the lighting is switched off when levels are adequate.

In addition, a mixture of suspended acoustic luminaires have been installed in classrooms and wall mounted direct and indirect luminaires link the corridors, creating a dramatic effect at night. Externally, low level bollards have been used in conjunction with LED in-ground walkway lighting and blue LED linear lighting illuminates the building façade.

“We are delighted with the end result of this project. The lighting has been very well thought out and meets the criteria we initially highlighted. The two essential factors were to ensure a low energy lighting system that also catered for the needs of our pupils. The project has been intelligently planned and caused limited disruption to the everyday running of the school.” Comments Stuart Wilson, Headteacher / Bursar of Bishops Cleeve School, Cheltenham

“This has been a really interesting project to work on. The team worked very hard to produce a lighting system that was creative and functional whilst ensuring low energy running costs. We have used some of the latest technology to achieve the end result.” Comments Steve Power, senior lighting engineer at Design Lighting.
