what we did…
BNU approached Energy Efficient Solutions Group (EESG) to implement a lighting solution across four key buildings on campus. Among these was the iconic Red Shed, home to the university’s fashion and design workshops. The challenge here was to ensure the correct lighting levels were provided for the creative spaces, supporting the detailed work and high-quality output required in such areas. EESG’s expertise in delivering tailored LED solutions, capable of meeting both functional and environmental requirements, made them the ideal partner for this project.
In addition to the Red Shed, EESG also installed cutting-edge LED lighting in various other spaces, including lecture rooms, administrative offices, and common areas. The installation of this advanced lighting technology across the campus has not only contributed to BNU’s energy-saving goals but also enhanced the overall working environment for staff and students alike.
