A recent lighting upgrade at Dandenong Hospital’s multi-deck car park has put sustainability in the spotlight.
Last month, the Dandenong Engineering team led a project to replace over 300 T5 Fluorescent Lights with LED batten lights for the hospital’s multi-deck car park.
Delivered with sustainability in mind, the lighting upgrade will see a 28% reduction in energy usage for the carpark lights. Lasting over 30,000 hours longer on average, the new lights also mean lower maintenance costs, less wastage and can (and will) be recycled once they do need to be replaced.
Safety was also a project priority, and the new, brighter LED lights will provide increased safety for our employees accessing the car park.
Rowan Appanah, a Technical Officer with our Engineering Services team, enjoyed working on a project that will support both our employees and the environment,
“It was great working on and delivering a project that provides so many long-term benefits for our staff.”
The Dandenong Engineering team aren’t done there though. A plan is in place to begin replacing the current Emergency and Exit lighting around the Hospital and multi-deck car park with the same focus on sustainability.
