Lighting the way for Hospitals and Healthcare Environments
Thursday 13th August 2009
Electric Center has joined the drive to help the NHS save on energy usage by hosting a seminar to address lighting in the healthcare sector.
The free seminar on Thursday 13 August, hosted by Wolseley’s specialist electrical products distributor, has been developed to support the ‘Saving Carbon, Improving Health’ carbon reduction strategy which was launched by the NHS early this year. The event at Wolseley's Sustainable Building Center (SBC) in Leamington Spa will provide practical steps towards reducing healthcare estates’ carbon footprints, and give examples of best practice, product developments and case studies. New technologies and products, such as the latest high efficiency LED lighting and motion-activated lights, will also be highlighted as tools to help bring cost savings to the healthcare sector.
Tim Pollard, Wolseley’s head of sustainability, said: “This event aims to provide tangible measures towards reducing the carbon footprint and increasing energy efficiency of healthcare organisations. Any sustainable strategy for change should address the three basic issues: environmental, economic and social. The seminar not only addresses how this can be achieved through technology and management, but also how Electric Center can help recycle old and inefficient lamps, fixtures and fittings and reduce the amount of artificial lighting and energy being used.”
The seminar runs from 9.30am – 3pm and includes a tour of the Sustainable Building Center which features a wide selection of available sustainable products and renewable technologies - in their working environment. The free event is open to all those involved within healthcare energy and estates management and is relevant to both public and private sector healthcare personnel.
