Garage Boterdiep helps trees a little

Car park Boterdiep in Groningen (The Netherlands) has been equipped for the past six months with a completely new lighting system. The new lighting reduces CO2 emissions by more than 4.632 million kilos!

That’s about the amount of CO2 that 171. 560 trees convert into oxygen in one year. This significant reduction is achieved by changing the 1703 fixtures with fluorescent tubes by specially developed LED luminaires for car parks from RentaLite. The massive task has been realized by a cooperation of the Parking Company of the municipality of Groningen, Gresco, RentAlite, installation firm CroonWolter & Dros and students of the Alpha college. For the last cooperation partner the municipality created internships at two different levels. Therefore also Social Return was part of the project.
Next to the C02- reduction the new fixtures also create a 75% reduction on energy. In monetary terms this results in around € 23.000 per year. The applied LED strips have a lifespan up to 100,000 hours, which in theory is more than 12 years that the LED strips can operate day and night. This will result in a total saving of € 276.000 in 12 years.
In practice, the expected lifespan and savings will be even higher. By ways of smart switching the lights by the car park management system, the lights will not have to operate continuously. At the moment 6 car parks in Groningen are equipped with this type of special LED lighting, the PPL Next, from RentaLite.
