Improved LED Lighting Offers Carbon Reduction Savings for Timber Group

The first of many complete refits for the National Timber Group, offering significant carbon reduction savings from new LED lighting solutions to all areas of the site.

Background

Created through the acquisition of four market leading brands, the National Timber Group is the largest independent added-value timber distribution and processing group in the UK.

A favoured supplier of large-scale infrastructure projects, the Group serves a diverse customer base including joiners, housebuilders and contractors.

With over 20 sites requiring complete refits throughout Scotland alone, it was important for the National Timber Group to find the right LED lighting solution to roll out across the brands.

Rembrand Timber Ltd

We wanted to show the quality of our work by completing the first job prior to any contract being drawn up. We knew the results would speak for themselves. We began with the Rembrand Timber Ltd Selkirk site in 2019 which then secured a contract to complete over 20 other sites in Scotland in 2020.

WAREHOUSE 80 watt high bays

SMALL STORES 5ft twin and 5ft single fittings

KITCHEN AND OFFICE 18 watt tubes

CAR PARK 50 watt floodlights

The results

We think the results speak for themselves in the following before and after photos and predicted annual savings.

Projected annual savings

The projected per annum savings for the Selkirk site are as follows.

67% energy output reduction

12,244.32 KwH

£1,667.40

6.6 tonnes carbon emissions

Brighter, safer environment

The floor markings were barely visible and it was difficult to see the stock before the refit.

There has been a vast improvement in visbility helping create a brighter, safer environment for the staff.

Total annual savings

With the project completed across the National Timber Group sites, the total annuals savings make impressive reading.

69% energy output reduction

495,756.93 KwH

£67,901.06

115 tonnes carbon emissions

Testimonial Fairhaven Golf Club

Following several recommendations, we engaged with Airis to deliver a solar project here at Fairhaven Golf Club. As an organisation, we prioritise sustainability throughout our working practices and to partner with a company that shared these values was most beneficial to the process. The project will see our annual grid consumption reduce by over 12% resulting in around 21,000 kWh of energy each year being generated. During the planning stages, we encountered several issues which the team at Airis helped to resolve. Their understanding, flexibility and practice applications made the whole process seamless. We could not recommend Airis more highly.

The change to LED has been a switch we’ve been considering for a few years. It was just a matter of finding the right partner with the expertise to deliver it across all our sites. Airis Energy Solutions not only made it happen, but they upgraded 29 of our sites simultaneously with upfront costs kept to a bare minimum. The results speak for themselves.

Testimonial Hambleton Primary Academy, Over Wyre

We sourced Airis Energy Solutions alongside the Green Business Fund / Carbon Trust to install a full school LED Smart Lighting system. All our lighting was extremely outdated and was failing more frequently, at a significant cost each time. There is no capital outlay and the installation of new lights was a very efficient process, with all the old lighting being taken off-site afterwards. It has significantly improved the appearance around school, has reduced our maintenance costs to zero, reduced our CO2 emissions and will reduce our energy consumption over time.

To the Airis team. Just to let you know that we’re really happy with the work and the difference in the quality of the lighting. Your guys were a credit to you with their work ethic, getting so much done at night and also over weekends. I am more than happy to recommend your services in the future.

Testimonial RAP Spiderweb LTD, Manchester

From start to finish Dave and his colleagues were fantastic to deal with. Very straight forward and completely transparent about the service. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and would happily recommend Airis to anyone who is interested. We had no disruption to our very busy factory and the fitters could not do enough. All in all, an excellent job!

As a business owner, I’m always trying to save money. It wasn’t until I worked with Airis Energy Solutions that I realised just how much money I was needlessly spending on energy. Thank-you.

Testimonial Athertons Carpets, Blackpool

I would be more than happy to recommend the Airis scheme and service. We have had all our lighting replaced with the Airis scheme, with this we have had no outlay or cost to ourselves.We are delighted with the results and would therefore recommend Airis to other businesses like ourselves.

This is fantastic. Well done to everyone especially Andy S, Kathy, Chris, Paul and the Airis team on the ground. You have all worked really hard to get the lights in and I am conscious that you have worked across the Easter weekend to get this done, thank you I appreciate this. There has been minimal disruption to our customers and our teams. Great work really pleased with the results!
