North Durham Academy is a highly ambitious institution which supports the local community. The Academy boasts over 1,000 students and is a modern building, at just over 12 years old.
BELL Lighting were the chosen manufacturer for a full lighting upgrade, with 2,394 fittings replaced in total at the site across a period of around 6 months. The upgrade included replacements to a host of areas, our Illumina Linear UGR LED High Bays provided outstanding results within the Sports Hall area, with the UGR element of the product being particularly important, as the space is also used for learning and exams. A stunning Theatre saw our 36W Arial Plus UGR<19 Backlit LED Panels at a substantial 9.6m mounting height, with Classrooms also taking advantage of the 25W variant of the product range.
Other product lines included the Deco Grande which was used in Stairwells, our Dura and Ultra LED Battens which were installed in Store and Plant Rooms, with our Arial Pro LED Downlights used in a multitude of spaces, from Corridors to Canteens and Open Areas.
The project was a stunning success, with around a 56% energy saving, and a 2 year payback calculated by the Academy. It was also a real pleasure to see our Spectrum Emergency products installed throughout the Academy, and we are excited to work on future schools in the area moving forwards.
