Industrial

Grace Storage, a prominent warehousing facility located in Campbelltown, faced significant challenges with outdated and inefficient lighting, leading to substantial electricity bills. The warehouse was equipped with over 600 high bay lights, and the office areas utilised fluorescent lighting. Recognising the need for a sustainable and cost-effective solution, Grace Storage partnered with Novon Lighting (formerly Lowa Lighting) to conduct a comprehensive lighting audit and upgrade to energy-efficient LED lighting.

Challenge

The primary challenges faced by Grace Storage included:

• High energy consumption due to inefficient highbay and fluorescent lighting.

• Increased operational costs linked to energy usage and frequent maintenance.

• Poor lighting quality affecting overall work environment and productivity.

Solution

Novon Lighting undertook a thorough lighting audit to evaluate the existing setup and determine the optimal steps forward. The audit revealed significant opportunities for improvement in both energy efficiency and lighting quality. The solution involved:

• Replacing the existing 600 highbay lights in the warehouse with Novon Lighting’s latest highbay LED fixtures, equipped with advanced occupancy sensors.

• Upgrading the fluorescent lights in the office areas to modern, energy-efficient LED fixtures.

Implementation

The implementation process included:

1. Detailed Planning and Design:

• Conducting a detailed analysis to design a customised lighting solution tailored to the specific needs of Grace Storage.

• Selecting LED fixtures with occupancy sensors to maximise energy savings through adaptive lighting based on occupancy and activity levels.

2. Installation:

• Coordinating the installation process to minimise disruptions to warehouse operations.

• Ensuring precise installation and calibration of occupancy sensors for optimal performance.

3. Programming and Testing:

• Programming the occupancy sensors for full flexibility, allowing for customisable lighting settings based on specific zones and usage patterns.

• Rigorous testing to ensure all new lighting fixtures operated efficiently and effectively.

Results

The lighting upgrade delivered outstanding results:

• Energy Savings: Achieved a remarkable 90% reduction in energy consumption, significantly lowering operational costs for Grace Storage.

• Improved Lighting Quality: Enhanced lighting quality in both warehouse and office areas, contributing to a better working environment and increased productivity.

• Reduced Maintenance: The switch to LED lighting reduced maintenance requirements, leading to further cost savings and operational efficiency.
