Supermarket giant Sainsbury's partners with GE Lighting as part of a large scale roll to bring the stores in line with present day health and safety regulations.


CASE OVERVIEW

Supermarket giant Sainsbury's partners with GE Lighting as part of a large scale roll to bring the stores in line with present day health and safety regulations.

As part of the cooperation, the Sainsbury’s Leek store was the first supermarket installation. The LED initiative delivers a 59% energy saving that is helping to contribute towards Sainsbury’s 20x20 Sustainability Plan, as well as enhance the shopping experience for customers.

Mackwell partner, GE Lighting worked with Sainsbury's to create a scheme that utilises multiple LED lighting solutions to maximise energy savings, lower carbon emissions and extend maintenance cycles, but at the same time enhance the shopping experience for Sainsbury’s customers. 

SOLUTION 

Working with GE Lighting, Mackwell installed over 40,000, XYLUX LR's across their store, which included Mackwell’s unique SmartCharge. SmartCharge is tailored to suit NiMH batteries and prefer “pulse” charging to constant current charging. The pulse charging means batteries are only topped up resulting in the operating temperatures of the batteries being significantly reduced. This provides a dramatic reduction in power consumption of the devices. By using Mackwell products, the buildings energy usage monitoring systems would record significant energy reductions.

The project will support Sainsbury’s on its journey to achieve commitments set out in the supermarket’s Sustainability Plan, which calls for Sainsbury’s to reduce absolute carbon emissions by 30 percent compared to 2005 baseline levels. The target has spurred numerous energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives across its many U.K. stores, from LED retrofits to solar panels, biomass boilers and ground source heat pumps.  To date, Sainsbury’s has already cut absolute carbon emissions by more than 20 percent and is on track to achieve its 2020 target.

SUMMARY
  • XYLUX LR emergency luminiares installed to provide an ultra discreet design
  • SmartCharge technology within the emergency products provides energy efficient charging maintenance, reduced operating temperatures and optimum service life of NiMH batteries.
  • Supports Sainsbury’s on its journey to achieve commitments set out in the supermarket’s Sustainability Plan
