About the Building Display Centre
The Building Display Centre was originally based in Albert Street East Melbourne, where building products and services were on display to both the public and the building industry, 7 days a week. In early 2009, the Building Display Centre was re-established at the ex Collingwood Football Club house in Victoria Park. Prior to the retrofit, the building was awash with footy atmosphere and energy intensive Halogen downlights.
The Building Display Centre, which is highly regarded for its role in showcasing water and energy saving products, combined with developments in renewable energy technology, was keen to retrofit the lighting in the Victoria Park building with state of the art efficient lighting technology.
Before the Eco Lighting Retrofit
Prior to the retrofit, the board room and general areas at the Building Display Centre featured 50 watt Halogen down lights and 40 watt Linear Fluoro lights. The annual electricity bill for lighting was $6,340. The old lights were dull and aged through poor maintenance.
After the Eco Lighting Retrofit
After conducting a systematic lighting audit, the eco lighting experts at the Environment Shop reduced the energy consumption of the lighting by 26%.
