Based on our corporate priority “Promoting a clean, green and sustainable environment”, below are Worthing Leisure’s objectives and ongoing initiatives.
Currently, Worthing Leisure is aiming to reduce energy consumption by 35% by 2014.
We aim to do this in the ways outlined for each leisure site below.
Worthing Leisure Centre - Changes to the Main Hall lighting
The works undertaken throughout December 2011 in the Main Hall are to upgrade the existing fluorescent tubes to a new energy efficient LED lighting system.
Staff and contractors have been working through the night over a 3-week period to minimise disruption to the Centre’s programme of bookings.
The project is part of Worthing Borough Council and Worthing Leisure’s commitment to its corporate priority of promoting a clean, green and sustainable environment.
A summary of the benefits is detailed below:
- Average life expectancy of an LED light equates to 80,000 hours of use (75% more than a standard lamp).
- Lighting and Colour clarity is significantly improved.
- The LED lighting projects a saving of £5,249 per annum via savings across the Climate Change Levy, maintenance costs, reduced supply charges for maximum demand and a reduction in waste costs.
- A reduction in waste (on average 10 bulbs less changed per annum).
- Reduction to operational disruption as less time required for maintenance.
- Dimmable functionality for use if required.
- Positive environmental impact – LED lighting ensures less fossil fuel depletion, reduced CO² emissions and reduction in pollution.
We hope our customers enjoy the use of new energy efficient lighting.
