The goal of achieving net zero carbon by 2030 for Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington is a step closer today as the University is awarded funding to install LED lighting in its Rankine Brown building.
It is forecast that the LED lighting will achieve carbon savings of at least 75 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually for the University, while also reducing operating costs.
$175,000 has been awarded for the project. Funding is administered by the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA), as part of the State Sector Decarbonisation Fund. Successful projects were announced today by Climate Change Minister Hon James Shaw.
