NZ suppliers to help commercial sector cut lighting costs
Eight companies have been appointed to help businesses in New Zealand cut their lighting bills.
The suppliers have been chosen by the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) to install subsidised lighting controls for businesses looking to save electricity.
EECA’s Commercial Sector Efficiency Lighting Programme aims to reduce over-lighting and increase the uptake and usage of lighting controls. Efficient lighting controls such as daylight harvesting, where lights automatically adjust in response to the amount of daylight in a space, offer substantial savings.
EECA’s Lighting Programme Manager, Bill Brander, is encouraging building owners and tenants to contact the suppliers about installing lighting controls.
“Lighting in commercial buildings such as foodstores, offices, hospitals, retail, schools, hotels and motels accounts for approximately 20% of total energy consumed by the commercial sector.
“Reducing this energy use by just 20% through the use of more efficient lighting and controls could save businesses millions of dollars every year.”
The suppliers selected are:
- Architectural Intelligence
- Electrical Supply Corp
- Energy Light
- Eurotec
- Philips New Zealand
- Thorn Lighting (NZ)
- Evolve
- Advanced Lighting Technologies NZ
Contact details for the suppliers can be found on the EECA BUSINESS website.
