Tarkett Marley Flooring lighting efficiency project forecasts saving 65% energy

Tarkett is a worldwide leader in the flooring industry, Founded in 1886. Tarkett works with many of the world’s leading architects and building professionals to provide a genuine service. Tarkett’s integrated flooring and sports surfaces solutions are part of numerous prestigious architectural references. The main production facility in the UK is near Maidstone in Kent. The infrastructure of the building is quite old and as part of an investment programme to update the facility the lighting was seen as having the potential for both energy saving and improvement in light quality. Tarkett was keen to achieve maximum energy savings with the imperative of best payback and low cost. The facility includes goods in and out storage areas, workshops and a main production hall. Vita Energia Solutions was chosen as the supplier for our experience upgrading in this type of older facility, for our attention to designing to achieve maximum savings and payback from the upgrade, our product range and our full service capability. We take time to understand the existing dynamics of a facility to look for the optimum application of automated or manual lighting switching, as well as modelling light fitting selection options against existing light circuit design. Each operational area and light fitting type is considered separately.
