EU & UK Targets CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC)
MH & SON Directive 2005/32/EU • Ecodesign • Tertiary sector –consultation 4th Sept
Impact of design • Green Public Procurement (GPP) means that public purchasers take account of environmental factors when buying products, services or works, whole life cycle – consultation July • DEFRA policy brief ‘Improving the energy performance of street lighting & traffic signals
DEFRA Policy brief • Government demand street lighting in line with indicative standards • Prefer qualified designers to carry out scheme design • Trimming • The application of variable lighting levels • Reduced highway operations • Trend towards Central Management Systems (CMS)
65% 35% GPP • EuP to GPP: can bring additional energy savings
CMS • Control • Photocell, load, accuracy, trimming, dynamic lighting levels (up & down), part night lighting …. • Maintenance • Fault identification, automatic reporting of faults, fault prediction, scouting, metering, reliability, future proof • Emergency situations, adverse weather, maintenance operations • Procurement • Half hourly trading
List of suppliers • LeafNut system (Harvard Engineering) • Vizion system (Zodion Control Systems) • Firefly • Datek street light control system (Royce Thompson) • Ask Controls • Menolinx System • Luminex / Elecheon • Telensa PLANet (Public Lighting Active Network) • Minos System • Mayflower • Candelon (SELC) • Starsense 2 (Philips) • How to choose?
