To ensure that secondary schools get the best possible learning environments, attractive and efficient for all the people who
use it, it is essential to appoint an experienced lighting engineer and installation contractor like us here at A Coole Electrical.
The Sustainable Development Commission estimates that schools contribute 2% of the UK’s overall carbon emissions, with around half
of this arising from the use of electricity and fossil fuels within school buildings.
It is important that we take action to reduce this.
The Government has allocated an additional investment of £110 million over the next three years to test the aim of reducing carbon
emissions by 60% in new schools built in the BSF programme.
To meet this aim it will be necessary to use the most energy-efficient lighting and to use lighting controls wherever there is a whole-life
cost justification for doing so.
