Greenearth trial saves Ambos on lighting

Ambulance Victoria: trial made lighting 65 percent more efficient

Melbourne-based Greenearth Energy has acheived a 65 percent energy efficiency improvement for Ambulance Victoria through a Metrolight High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting equipment upgrade.
Subsidiary Greenearth Energy Efficiency achieved the result by converting Ambulance Victoria’s depot in Melbourne to HID lighting equipment and conducting an optimisation trial.
The Ambulance Victoria depot had a simple garage lighting system that was inefficient, inflexible and costly to run. The new technology generates more light per watt than dated technology which loses a significant amount of energy as heat.
The new system provides flexible and highly efficient lights combined with a simple and smart control system that delivers light effectively.
Greenearth managing director Mark Miller said he believed the trial showed that Greenearth’s solution had “enormous potential” for “literally thousands of similar sites” in Australia.
