Upgrade your Lighting for Efficiency and Sustainability

Traditional lighting systems are gradually being replaced by LED lights, and now LEDs are becoming the new standard. LED lights consume significantly less energy than traditional bulbs, leading to substantial cost savings on electricity bills. This is crucial for schools striving to reduce their environmental footprint. Plus, their longer lifespan reduces the frequency of replacements and maintenance, minimizing disruptions and saving maintenance expenses.

Enhancing the Learning Environment

Having the proper illumination creates a more comfortable learning environment for students and teachers. LED lights emit bright and uniform illumination that enhances visibility. With customizable colour temperatures, LED lighting can also be tailored to suit various educational activities and settings, promoting engagement and participation.

Optimizing Energy Usage with Lighting Controls

Implementing lighting controls can also optimize energy usage and enhance convenience. Lighting controls equipped with sensors can detect motion and measure natural light levels, allowing for dynamic adjustments to lighting levels. This ensures that lights are on only when needed, minimizing energy waste and complementing natural daylight. Teachers and facility managers can take advantage of programmable timers and dimmers to schedule lighting and accommodate lighting preferences for different activities.

Enhance Connectivity and Learning Opportunities

Investing in a robust data communications infrastructure is essential for facilitating seamless connectivity and learning opportunities. As technology advances, reliance on digital resources and online learning platforms also increases. This is why it is important for schools to have reliable and high-speed internet connectivity. Upgrading to CAT6 cables ensures high-speed and reliable connectivity throughout the school. With the bandwidth and performance capabilities of CAT6, schools can support the increasing demands for digital resources, and multimedia content.

Beyond the classroom, network optimization streamlines processes and supports school operations. From student record management to communication with parents and staff, network optimization enables reliable access controls, and data encryption to safeguard against unauthorized access, data breaches and cyber attacks. From structured cabling systems, including fibre optic cables, to uninterruptible power supply, network optimization helps create a robust and future-ready network infrastructure for digital learning initiatives.

Foster Sustainability and Renewable Energy with EV Chargers

As electric vehicles become more prevalent, schools can support sustainability initiatives by installing EV chargers. EV charging stations encourage the adoption of electric vehicles among students and staff, providing convenient access to charging stations. Investing in infrastructure that supports the future of transportation not only contributes to carbon emissions reduction but can help achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.

The FLO CoRe+ Series is an excellent choice for schools looking to install EV chargers. These chargers offer fast charging capabilities and can be installed in various configurations, including wall-mounted or pedestal chargers. Built to withstand extreme weather conditions, the CoRe+ Series ensures reliability and durability, making it a perfect fit for school facilities.

For a seamless charging experience, consider Electric Avenue’s Watti Pro wall-mounted AC smart charger with optional pedestal and cable management. These chargers are designed to provide efficient charging solutions for students, staff, and visitors, enhancing the overall accessibility of EV charging on campus.

EV charging can contribute to a more sustainable, innovative and engaged learning environment. With user-friendly interfaces, robust construction, and smart charging capabilities, they are ideal solutions for educational institutions looking to lead the charge in sustainability initiatives.

Invest During the Summer and Power Up for a Brighter Future

As schools prepare to close their doors for the summer break, attention to electrical maintenance and installations is essential for ensuring a successful academic year ahead. By enhancing learning environments and embracing sustainability, schools can prepare for a better future. As the saying goes, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” – investing in electrical maintenance during the summer months is a wise investment in the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of educational facilities.

From energy-efficient products to renewable energy solutions, electrical innovations play an important part to reshape how we interact with out environment. Embracing these technologies can help us protect the Earth’s natural resources, mitigate climate change, and create a more sustainable future for generations to come.

Here are some tips on how you can contribute to preserve our planet:

Switch to LED Lighting

Say goodbye to old-school bulbs and hello to LED technology! Did you know that LEDs are up to 90% more efficient than traditional lighting? There’s more! They also have an impressive lifespan of up to 15 times longer. By transitioning to LED, not only do you brighten your surroundings, but you also significantly reduce carbon emissions. This makes LEDs a greener choice for lighting your home or office.

Not sure what LED products replace traditional lighting products? Here is our LED lighting guide for more information.

Opt for Electric Vehicles

The adoption of sustainable transportation is key in preserving our planet. The transition to Electric Vehicles is essential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. With zero tailpipe emissions, EVs promote cleaner air and a healthier planet. Some EV owners choose to power their electric vehicles with renewable energy systems, such as solar panels, lessening the environmental footprint and reducing dependency on fossil fuels. As more people shift towards EVs, we play a part in creating a cleaner and healthier planet.

Check our EV Charging Guide to find everything you need to know about stations and chargers.

Embrace Smart Home Technology

Manage energy usage and reduce waste with smart home devices such as smart lighting. These devices allow you to control lighting levels and schedules remotely, cutting down unnecessary energy consumption. Dimmers can extend the lifespan of bulbs by reducing heat and stress on them. So you are not reducing waste but also saving money.

Forget to turn off the lights when leaving the house? Timers allow you to automate lighting schedules, ensuring that lights are only on when needed, and turning off when spaces are unoccupied.

Looking Ahead

As we commemorate Earth Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to leveraging the power of electrical products for the betterment of our planet. By embracing energy efficiency, investing in smart solutions, and promoting responsible consumption practices, we can collectively pave the way towards a more sustainable future where technology serves as a force for environmental stewardship.

St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated annually on March 17th around the world. While electrical products have no particular association with St. Patrick’s Day,  people often use electrical products to celebrate the holiday. For example, many people decorate their homes, offices, and public spaces with green lights or other green-colored decorations, and some cities even dye their rivers green. While we don’t have giant jugs of green dye, we do offer green lighting solutions & initiatives to promote energy-efficient lighting solutions that reduce the environmental impact of lighting while also saving energy and money.

With Western Canadian weather still experiencing freezing temperatures, enough of our energy usage already goes into heating, so why not use some methods to cut down on energy and go green? From the electrical experts at E.B. Horsman, here are energy saving ideas to help you go green and save your gold for the next rainbow!

The most common types of green lighting initiatives include:

1.     LED lighting: LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting is highly energy-efficient and has a longer lifespan than traditional incandescent and fluorescent lighting. LED lights use less energy and produce less heat, which helps to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.
