Project Value
New Inn Primary School in Torfaen County Borough Council used Salix interest-free funding of £29,060 through the Council’s Recycling Fund for Wales to replace its existing lighting and install PIR sensors to control the lighting consumption.
The primary school, which has been an Eco Platinum school since 2008 and is committed to energy efficiency, was the first to receive Salix interest-free funding.
There was a need to replace its dated, existing lighting throughout the school with more efficient T5 lighting. The difference in the lighting levels has made a considerable difference to the learning environment for both staff and pupils.
Without this opportunity it would have taken several years to replace the amount of lights that we did. The difference in lighting levels is considerable and has made such a difference to the learning environment.
