Auckland City Council -
Waitakere Central Library LED Project
​
Waitakere Central Library was the first large scale LED lighting project that Auckland City commissioned of NuGreen.
​
The project was designed as a benchmark of NuGreens engagement level and ability to deliver larger scale projects, which would open the door for future engagements with Auckland Council.
​
The project was challenging to deliver, with the legacy lighting infrastructure being T5 (a relatively efficient system to begin with) and also involving a number of different types of luminaire it was NuGreen has to leverage its agnostic approach to specify a solution that delivered on the required metrics of energy efficiency and ROI.
​
On top of this difficult was access, requiring equipment and all to be delivered whilst the facility and adjoining car park were fully operational and accessible to the public.
​
NuGreen delivered this project with contracting partner Laser Rosebank with a team of 8 people working through the site. The team delivered the 1400 fittings system in 3 weeks.
Feedback from the site stakeholders was that the contracting team was faultless. The light levels were improved as was the quality of light – which importantly reduced eye stress for reading – important in a library.
​
NuGreen was also tasked with verifying the energy savings to confirm the submitted business case was realised post project delivery. To prevent bias – NuGreen commissioned third party EECA credited partner – Deta Consulting to review the energy data and pass comment on the realised savings.
​
This process confirmed the delivered project realised a reduction in consumption of 47% against a forecasted 48%.
