Victoria University's (VU) motto "A New School of Thought" really says it all - after what was a request from the University to meet with their energy management project team member at their Werribee campus, ecoBright^® helped VU staff realise the benefits that new electronic T5 lighting fitted with Save-It-Easy^® adaptors deliver. Lower energy costs, better more consistent lighting, quick and easy installation, no mess and no flicker - the staff at Vic Uni quickly grasped the significance of the savings we showed them were possible once they implemented our recommendations.

          VU also experimented with different rates of de-lamping - this is where a proportion of lamps are removed from luminaires as light levels improve due to better lamps being used. T5 lamps have a lower degradation rate 5-10% lumen loss, than T8 lamps up to 30% loss. VU found they could delamp and easily maintain their target light levels.

 

With a State Government grant to implement proven energy saving initiatives, our 25% minimum savings written guarantee, and knowing that Save-It-Easy^® had already sold over 40,000 adaptors in Australia by that stage, VU were keen to roll out the Save-It-Easy^® solution at each of their campuses. To date over 10,000 adaptors and lamps have been installed and VU has so far saved themselves 11% off their Total Energy bill - as a result each year VU adds more devices at other locations.
