Thompson Primary School in Norfolk has taken positive steps to save money and improve safety for both staff and pupils by fitting GlassGuard BlackBand® fragment retention lamps lamps and new IP65 fixtures.
GlassGuard®'s IP65 T5 fixtures have been installed in the main hall, staff room and foundation class room, delivering a vital energy saving of 37% in these areas. From this installation of just 22 GlassGuard® IP65 T5 fixtures, the school will save 1 Kilowatt of energy per hour, which equates to a cash saving of £182.00 per year. This is a significant sum for a small school and paves the way for major energy saving opportunities for larger installations. For example, a typical high school with 500 T8 fluorescent fixtures could save up to £4,000 per year by switching to GlassGuard® IP65 fixtures.
Energy efficiency is one concern easily addressed by GlassGuard®, but safety for pupils and staff is also vitally important, particularly in high risk areas such as the main hall, where the children play sports. GlassGuard BlackBand® fragment retention lamps provide full glass retention when impacted or if accidentally dropped during maintenance and comply to the latest standard BS EN 61549.
