Case Study: Footscray Plaza CARE PARK

  • Over 70% Energy Reduction
  • Increased Lux Levels

The Footscray Plaza Care Park were looking for a significant reduction in their lighting costs.

Our team at Elwa Energysavers are experts in the area and were able to offer Care Park solutions to replace old and inefficient lighting. The LED lighting upgrade was the perfect choice to lower their running costs.

Car parks are considered a “constant use environment”, as most of them are operational 24/7, and any that have closing times still provide constant lighting for security purposes.

We provided a complete multi-level car park lighting solution, covering parking areas, transition zones, stairwells, and ramps. Installed according to Australian Standards (AS 1680) specifies 800 lux for the first 15 meters of a car park entrance during the day and 160 lux at night, followed by 160 lux for the next 4 meters at all times. This helped transition the lighting level upon entry and reduced the effects of blinding.

The results were over 70% reduced electricity costs for the entire car park area, which is constantly operating.

Safety is now increased within the car parking area, with powerful lighting for added security.

Reduced maintenance cost (lasts up to 50,000 hours).

Working with The Footscray Plaza CARE PARK, we were able to upgrade all their lights to LED lighting.  This will help them to cut down significantly on power consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

In addition to the savings that come with introducing energy efficient LED technology, the lights improved the overall appearance of the space and provided essential safety.

Since installation of the new LED lighting solutions there is an annual savings of over 70% electricity costs annually from the installation.

The Footscray Plaza CARE PARK LED lighting upgrade project embodies their dedication to reducing its environmental footprint and enhancing the well-being and safety of the many users of the car park.
