The Wrokwear Group
The Problem.
The Workwear Group is a leading distributor of workwear and safety gear, known for their commitment to quality products and outstanding customer service. However, like many businesses, the Workwear Group faced a significant challenge when it came to sustainability. Prior to engaging with Australian Energy Upgrades, the company had a problem with non-sustainability that needed to be addressed.
One of the main areas where the Workwear Group faced sustainability challenges was in their lighting system. The company had an outdated lighting system that was not only inefficient but also had a negative impact on the environment. The lighting system was energy-intensive and consumed a significant amount of electricity, contributing to the company’s overall carbon footprint.
Recognizing the need to address their sustainability challenges, the Workwear Group engaged with Australian Energy Upgrades to implement a range of energy-efficient solutions. Australian Energy Upgrades designed a customised solution that would not only improve energy efficiency but also reduce operating costs and improve the company’s sustainability profile.
The solution included the installation of energy-efficient lighting solutions, including LED high bays, shop lights, battens, troffers, and external floodlights. These new lighting solutions significantly reduced the company’s energy consumption and operating costs, while also improving lighting quality and safety.
In conclusion, the Workwear Group faced significant sustainability challenges prior to engaging with Australian Energy Upgrades. However, by implementing a range of energy-efficient solutions, the company was able to significantly reduce its environmental footprint, improve operational efficiency, and improve its bottom line. This serves as an excellent example of how businesses can take proactive measures to address sustainability challenges, improving their overall performance and making a positive impact on the environment.
The Answer.
The Workwear Group is a leading distributor of workwear and safety gear, known for their commitment to quality products and outstanding customer service. As part of their ongoing efforts to improve their operations and reduce their environmental footprint, they partnered with Australian Energy Upgrades to replace their inefficient lighting system with energy-efficient LED lights. The results have been impressive, with the company now saving over $27,541.80 off their annual lighting electricity bills, a 46% lighting cost reduction.
The project involved the installation of a range of energy-efficient lighting solutions throughout the Workwear Group’s distribution center in Melbourne Airport. Australian Energy Upgrades designed a customized lighting solution that would not only improve lighting quality and safety, but also reduce energy consumption and operating costs.
The installation included 415 LED high bays, 43 LED shop lights, 36 LED battens, 102 LED troffers, and 11 LED external flood lights. The new LED lights are not only more energy-efficient than the previous lighting system, but also provide better lighting quality and improved color rendering. This is especially important in a distribution center environment, where accurate color recognition is critical for the sorting and picking of products.
The installation was completed quickly and efficiently, with minimal disruption to the Workwear Group’s operations. The new LED lights were also accompanied by smart lighting controls, allowing the company to adjust lighting levels and schedules to suit their needs and maximize energy savings.
The results of the project have been impressive. The Workwear Group is now saving over $27,541.80 off their annual lighting electricity bills, a 46% lighting cost reduction. This not only reduces their operating costs, but also improves their environmental footprint by reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
The project has also helped to improve lighting quality and safety throughout the distribution center, providing a better working environment for staff. This has contributed to increased productivity and a more efficient operation overall.
Overall, the partnership between the Workwear Group and Australian Energy Upgrades demonstrates the benefits of investing in energy efficiency and sustainability. By making simple changes to their lighting system, the Workwear Group has been able to significantly reduce their energy consumption and operating costs, while also improving the quality of their products and working environment. It is a win-win situation for everyone involved, and a shining example of the positive impact that energy efficiency solutions can have on businesses and the environment.
