The idea
We are going to do our bit to counter climate change. Initially we want to replace all outdated inefficient lighting in the Centre with LED bulbs, increasing energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissons (estimated at 2.2 tonnes carbon per year). Then go on to install a better, greener heating system.
What we'll deliver
- increased energy efficiency
- reduce carbon emissions
- improve lighting and release funds for other (similar) projects
Why it's a great idea
Climate change is of concern to the community and the country as a whole. An independent survey showed that the Centre performs poorly in respect of energy efficiency and carbon emissions. We can improve significantly initially by changing some 170 old fashioned bulbs with LED, saving some 2.2 tonnes carbon each year. And that is just the start. We can show the community that we are taking climate change seriously and doing our bit, and we have much further to go
Steps to get it done
- Change all 170 bulbs to LED by March 2020
The energy savings will be used to start other projects to increase energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions: an ultimate goal is to replace two oil fired boilers with greener/more sustainable system
