Sustainable audio and visual equipment refresh
- UK schools have significant potential to reduce energy consumption and costs through the adoption of energy efficient technologies. LED lighting, in particular, can reduce energy use by at least 80% compared to traditional lighting, leading to substantial savings and a reduction in CO2 emissions. The Carbon Trust estimates that UK schools could save around £44 million per year by switching to LED lighting, which would prevent 625,000 tonnes of CO2 from entering the atmosphere.[1]
- Beyond cost savings, the integration of LED lighting in schools enhances the learning environment by providing better lighting quality, which improves pupils focus and safety.
- Schools face the challenge of balancing procurement efficiency with sustainability goals. By reducing the frequency of deliveries and developing robust carbon reporting systems, schools can not only lower their carbon footprint but also streamline operations and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.
