Problem
The energy costs on site became excessive, and a survey revealed lighting on site contributed more than 73.5% of the site’s total electricity costs. In addition, the air compressors on site were inefficient and in need of upgrades
Solution
Upgrading the existing compressor to a new Ingersoll Rand unit and upgrading the existing Metal Halide High Bay, Low Bay and Flood Lights to new Induction Light technologies.
- 390 x 200W Induction High Bay Lights (Replacing 400W units)
- 64 x 120W Low Bays Lights (Replacing 250W Metal Halide units)
- 63 x 400W Flood Lights
- 12 Control Boxes with daylight sensors
Results
- Electricity costs reduced by 40.7%
- 67% Reduction in air compressor energy usage
- Project saved Downer EDI Rail over $139,535 + GST
- NSW IPART ESC’s of $222,558 partially funded the project
- Project simple payback of 0.36 years
