Lighting and the Public Sector - 3rd December 2014

UK, October 2014

Lighting and the Public Sector, Leeds Royal Armouries Museum, Wednesday 3rd December 2014

 

With the Government committed to reducing the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% (from the 1990 baseline) by 2050, energy efficient lighting and the public sector is a hot topic at the moment. Alongside the obvious environmental benefits, there are huge cost savings to be made in this area.

It has been estimated that if all the lighting in the UK was replaced with energy efficient luminaires, enough energy would be saved to light the streets of a city the size of Milton Keynes for 632 million years.

On the 3rd of December at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, Konica Minolta Sensing in partnership with Pro-lite Technology and Photometric and Optical Testing Services will host a seminar aimed at helping public sector organisations to maximise the benefits of modern lighting technologies. The day will provide unparalleled access to industry experts and a forum for knowledge sharing and networking.

The Seminar will benefit anyone involved with specifying, designing or maintaining either interior or exterior lighting for public environments including:

  • Facilities Managers
  • Lighting Designers
  • Heritage conservators
  • Streetlighting contractors
  • Energy and Environmental Managers

 It will not only provide detailed analysis and explanation but also consider the broader context, helping each of these different sectors benefit from the experience of alternative applications.

The overall objective of the day will be to address some of the challenges posed and examine key issues such as

  • Offsetting installation costs with efficiency savings
  • The potential benefits of LED based street lighting over existing schemes
  • The advantages of LED lighting in illuminating and preserving cultural heritage
  • Using LED based sources to improve outcomes in a healthcare environment

An experienced lineup of Designers, Manufacturers, Installers and specialists will present short sessions with the opportunity for questions and discussion. For a full list of topics and speakers or to reserve a place please visit: www.konicaminolta.eu/publicsectorlighting
