Energy efficient right from the entrance

QEII’s multideck carpark had a makeover from above recently when its owner IPG replaced more than 1500 globes in order to increase efficiency and decrease costs.

IPG’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint is in line with NMHS’s own Climate and Sustainability Program, which aims to reduce NMHS’s environmental footprint and deliver sustainable high-quality care.

The general and emergency fluorescent lighting over the aisles and parking bays in the multi-deck car park were replaced with energy efficient LED lighting over two stages, with 340 emergency lights and a further 1192 light fittings replaced over a three-month period in 2021.

Benefits realised from the project include a 22% energy saving and an estimated reduction of 165 tonnes of carbon emissions per annum.

Further projects being planned by IPG for the QEII Medical Centre Multideck Car Park are:

• an LED upgrade for all remaining lights,
• the installation of a solar panel system, and
• electric vehicle charging bays in support of a greener future for all.
