UNRIVALLED 80% SAVINGS ON EMERGENCY LIGHTING MAINTENANCE COSTS

The Lithium Nanophosphate® advantageNot all Lithium battery chemistries perform the same. L10 Lithium Nanophosphate® batteries are proven in the field and matched with long life electronics and LED’s. When comparing the L10 range against the competition, ask to see actual site results.

There’s a real difference when the results are in!

BACKGROUND

Etihad Stadium is a $460 million, multi-purpose facility designed to cater for major sporting and entertainment events, as well as social, business and private functions. The stadium is situated in Melbourne’s Docklands, just west of Melbourne’s CBD.

In 2012, Honeywell was tasked with a review of the emergency lighting within Etihad stadium as the maintenance and energy costs continued to climb to over 1 million after 7 years. The existing fittings were nearing end of life which had created the need for major components replacement. With 2,756 Exit and Emergency lights installed within the facility and a high volume of foot traffic, quality and performance of emergency lighting and escape signage is critical so a decision was made to refurbish the entire stadium.

ETIHAD STADIUM

CHALLENGES

With the stadium receiving such a high level of foot traffic, emergency escape lighting is of utmost importance and the quality and performance of the emergency lighting is criticalfrom a life-safety viewpoint. Emergency and exit lighting also represented a major ongoing maintenance cost for the stadium, and therefore the lowest overall cost was critical.

SOLUTION

Etihad stadium was fitted throughout with Clevertronics L10 Optimum Emergency and Exit lighting fittings and a Zoneworks monitoring system.

Honeywell Victoria’s TAM Operations Manager, Matthew Parisi was involved in reviewing the options available to ensure the stadium met the standards required and also provided the best total cost solution for his customer.

After considering the options Matthew selected the “L10 solution including a Zoneworks monitoring system” from Clevertronics and was amazed at the performance this solution could achieve over previous alternatives.

“The L10 Lithium range is the way of the future,” says Matthew. “I believe the move away from NiCd batteries will be quite swift as building owners and facility managers become aware of the numerous advantages that lithium batteries offer. The added advantage of low environmental impact and also less waste through longer replacement intervals also makes it a far more sustainable technology compared to existing practice. Having no memory effect and being smaller in physical size are also advantageous qualities that attracted us to the product. During the installation period, Clevertronics also provided outstanding technical support to assist with the installation, ensuring a swift and uncomplicated installation of the L10 product. We estimate that the total energy and maintenance costs will drop from $1,083,830 to $178,867 over a seven year period, which is an 83.5% saving. The switch will also ensure an energy saving of approximately 70%, equating to a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of 932 tonnes over the same seven year period, which is quite remarkable.”

Since launch, Clevertronics has supplied over 100,000 L10 Optimum fittings into projects around the country. On-site real world results are exceeding bench-test performance predictions by a significant margin. With access to individual luminaire testing data for tens of thousands of installed L10 Zoneworks products, Clevertronics has unprecedented visibility into real world product and maintenance cost performance - information and experience that assists in our drive for further innovation.

Together with over 6 years of bench-testing data at elevated temperatures and on-site “torture testing” with specific trial-site partners, Clevertronics has cemented its position as the world leader in Lithium powered emergency lighting.

When it comes to lowest ownership costs, there is L10 - and then there is the rest.
