Cox cuts lighting system energy use by 45%21 January 2011

PC Cox, the world's largest manufacturer of hand-held sealant applicators (pictured), has achieved a 45 per cent reduction in the annual energy consumption of its lighting at its 46,500 sq ft Newbury-based headquarters. The project also improved the quality of light, benefitting the working environment for the 170 employees working at the site.

PC Cox has achieved this by implementing a new energy efficiency project designed and implemented by Vita Energia, a specialist in minimising energy usage in existing lighting systems. The project was financed by the Carbon Trust.

A site survey found that by retrofitting the existing lighting system with energy efficiency technologies, PC Cox could reduce its carbon emissions by 50 tonnes of CO2 per year.
