Everyone is familiar with the phenomenon: the annual budgets at schools are insufficient for implementing thorough innovations in infrastructure.
Although: very often the result of thorough homework is nevertheless a decisive factor in realizing an investment in relighting in the short term.
The number of burning hours is crucial in homework.
For example, the average occupancy of sports halls is the highest of all school classrooms: they are also used intensively in the afternoons, evenings and on weekend days. Many schools even make their sports infrastructure available to third parties during holiday periods.
The sports hall of the H.-Hartcollege from Waregem is subdivided into 9 beeches, each beech being equipped with 24 fluorescent fixtures, good for a total installed power of 14,400 watts and a light intensity of 300 lux on the floor surface.
The specifications prescribe a relighting sports hall class 2 (middle class): this means a light intensity of> 500 lux horizontal average lighting, with a uniformity of ≥ 0.70 and a recommendation for vertical values ​​of 30% of the horizontal values, measured 1 meter above the floor.

After conducting the light study, it was decided to replace the 216 classic fluorescent luminaires with 54 The Parker 9090 76W luminaires (TP9090-76-DW-TR-1050).
Thanks to the special optical linear lens technology, the light is bundled so that the light is radiated to the maximum at ground level.
The entire installation is equipped with dimmable luminaires, centrally controlled, which provide the various zones with customized lighting. The entire sports hall is multifunctionally illuminated for all types of sports activities.

The total installed power after investment is only 4,104 watts, good for a saving of more than 70% on the electricity bill.
In addition, the light intensity has been increased by more than 60%: from 300lux to> 500lux with a UGR <19.8!

This relighting project with Voltron® pays for itself within 3 years. A real win for H.-Hartcollege Waregem!
