A greener campus

A greener campus

Munster Technological University Kerry (MTUK) has updated its emergency lighting and switches to Zumtobel’s central battery system, achieving IS:3217 emergency lighting compliance, substantial cost savings and a greener campus.

An aged emergency lighting system threatened compliance and safety at MTUK. Determined to achieve a greener, more efficient campus, Zumtobel Group lighting brands Zumtobel and Thorn were approached for a comprehensive solution, which has resulted in automated reporting, substantial cost saving and a safer, more illuminated campus.

The process unfolded in two strategic phases, prioritising high-traffic areas. Collaborating with O’Connell Electrical Services, Zumtobel and Thorn worked tirelessly to ensure minimal disruption. Zumtobel’s EBox central battery system, RESCLITE PRO emergency lighting, PURESIGN signage and Thorn Voyager Solid were seamlessly integrated throughout the campus.

Rising raw material costs, Covid constraints and time limitations demanded flexibility. Switching from the tendered ECD 5 core installation option to an ECP 3 core installation proved crucial. This choice facilitated faster installation and significant cost savings.

Zumtobel’s EBox met every compliance requirement. Email fault reports ensure immediate response, minimising downtime and guaranteeing continuous compliance.
