New Lighting Consultant on Board

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

IEA are pleased to be working with Lorraine Calcott a lighting consultant with many years lighting experience. Lorraine has worked on and won awards related to her work and has been responsible for lighting in Wembley Arena, Stratford Upon Avon Shopping Centre, New Look Fashion Stores, Tesco etc.

Lighting is responsible for a significant amount of the energy used in any building and poor lighting such as the use of tungsten lighting in a building is responsible for producing very poor energy scores when producing EPCs.

Efficient use of lighting in a building is a key issue when we are looking to improve the energy efficiency of a building. Where we have identified significant opportunities for improvement Lorraine’s advice is invaluable.

IEA Ltd recently completed an assessment of a monster site in South Yorkshire for their client Willowbrite Ltd whose own client HSI UK Active Property Fund - Audby are actively seeking a buyer. The site comprised a prestigious 4 storey 31,000 sq ft, rain screened office block with complex air handling services throughout the building and a further 5 industrial buildings ranging from 103,000 sq ft to 6,000 sq ft with varying degrees of complexity.

The total for the whole site amounted to over 300,000 sq ft and was on 5.25 hectares!

When asked to comment on the assessment Tom Whelan said it’s a great site to have won, although it presents a number of challenges. There are both level 3 and level 4 buildings on the site, some having scale plans and others not. With a wide variety of Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning we need to be careful to ensure we get the best rating for each individual building, as each building is important no matter how big or small it is.
