Benefits of LED lighting...

LED lighting does not only benefit learning, but also benefits cost as due to reduced replacement costs, LED lighting is cheaper to run as bulbs are not needed to be replaced as often as well as running costs being up to 64%lower for secondary schools. LED lighting is predicted to replace all artificial light by 2030 due to its benefits that surround it.

This case study example links clearly in with the LED lighting in school's boost. Published by the lighting suppliers, Wila, it outliners details surrounding its large-scale upgrade of more than 6000 lumens around 7 Swindon schools. The article outlines how pinnacle group (the project management company) collaborated with lumicom to successfully dispose of the old lighting and lighting infrastructure. The article also outlines that payback to the school will likely occur within 3-4 years, which could suggest to many the success of a strategy like this.

This article is published by the project management company, pinnacle group, as previously mentioned.
The article suggests that its aim of working with 7 Swindon schools will help it reduce energy consumption in these schools by 60-80%. By reducing this energy, pinnacle predicts that 260 tones of CO2 will be saved across the seven schools yearly. It leads on from previous reports which further outline the project's success. Even though this article outlines these improvements, it should be noted that the Swindon schools mentioned are either primary, secondary or special education schools, which limits its reliability when focusing solely on secondary schools.

display energy and interview docs.

Below are the links to our school's Display Energy Certificate (DEC). Using the DEC is an accurate form of primary research as this is a publicly available government document. The DEC is document publishing the results of an energy usage document carried out once a year by an external contractor. This certificate gives an overall score of the energy usage, with 100 being the average. This is a very accurate source as it is a recorded and documented piece published by the local government to emphasise the specific data for specific establishments.  Below are the certificates for 2021 and 2022, which provide us with the specific details of usage across the site. 2021   https://find-energy-certificate.service.gov.uk/energy-certificate/9022-1264-0170-5192-8784    11/1/22 2022 Display energy certificate (DEC) - Find an energy certificate - GOV.UK (find-energy-certificate.service.gov.uk)   17/1/22 Also, I have attached the link to the government website where all DEC...
