How can Further & Higher Education establishments reduce energy & carbon? The Coalition Government is committed to create ‘the greenest government ever’, in line with our national and international commitments to reducing carbon emissions as set out in the Climate Change Act 2008 - 34% by 2020 and 80% by 2050, against a 1990 baseline. Chalmor can help you with your lighting and controls Chalmor can help you with your heating controls The following areas are highlighted as the most viable interventions in terms of scale of impact and cost-effectiveness for the sector: • Environmental management systems – incorporating waste, water, transport etc • Building energy and space management; • Building fabric upgrade; • Efficient energy supply (combined heat and power (CHP)/tri-generation, district heating); • Renewable energy; • Lights and electric appliances (including information and communication technologies (ICT); • Behavioural change and new ways of working. Currently the annual energy costs for the Further Education (FE) & Higher Education (HE) sector alone are around £200 million, resulting in CO² emissions of around 31/2 million tonnes per year. The Government believes it is, possible to reduce these emissions by around 20 per cent. The HE sector in England committed to the government targets for carbon emission reductions of 34% by 2020 and 80% by 2050, against a 1990 baseline. This is equivalent to a reduction in the HE sector of 0.606 MtCO2 by 2020, and 1.426 MtCO2 by 2050, against a 1990 baseline. Key milestones for reduction have been set in line with the five-year national carbon budgets and consist of a one per cent increase by 2012, and then a 18 per cent reduction by 2017, against a 1990 baseline.

February 25, 2013 Following the successful application of Chalmor’s TouchStat heating controllers, the University has implemented an additional phase of heating control to optimise energy consumption in residential accommodation. The TouchStat controllers are being used to fine tune the heating control at the University’s conference centre hotel and student accommodation. The facility comprises three centres offering facilities for...
Chalmor EMU energy management systems and temperature control sensors are helping Reaseheath College to reduce running costs through improved control of energy consumption and automation of routine tasks. The annual savings on energy and labour costs are expected to be in the order of £35,000 per annum, giving a projected return on...
Lighting Management Scheme Delivers More Upgrading of lighting, following an energy assessment by Chalmor Limited, has enabled Holmer Green Senior School in Buckinghamshire to reduce electricity and maintenance costs by over £4000 per annum, and to bring the school’s electrical load back to within its maximum demand limit. Holmer Green...
Long life lighting for University Installation of Chalmor’s long-life Endurance luminaires at the engineering laboratories of a London University has resulted in reduced life cycle costs as well as improving lighting quality. Previously, the laboratory had been using a mixture of sodium and mercury light sources and the lighting levels and light...
A combination of energy efficient Brilliance T5 fluorescent light fittings and BlueWave two-channel controllers from Chalmor is helping Myerscough College near Preston save up to a predicted £39,000 per annum on lighting costs. The savings on carbon emissions, combined with a fast payback, enabled the College to qualify for a substantial energy efficiency grant...
A design by Chalmor to upgrade lighting in the design and technology block at Settle College in North Yorkshire is projected to reduce operational costs by 59% and carbon emissions by 55%. The innovative design involved a combination of upgrading some existing light fittings and replacing others, as well as...
Chalmor wins the Recycling Award at the EMILAS Awards 2010 In an award-winning project, Chalmor has supplied its ReFit T5 system which included OSRAM multi-wattage electronic control gear and GE WattMiser T5 lamps to help the University of Bedfordshire reduce the installed electrical load in 8 blocks at its Bedford...
A new energy-efficient heating control system is being backed by the University of Bristol, which is introducing the eTRV electronic Thermostatic Radiator Valve from Chalmor Ltd into halls of residence as part of the refurbishment of its student accommodation. “We believe this is a remarkable validation of the energy and cost-saving benefits...
