SUPPORTING SUSTAINABLE ENERGY PRACTICES

13 Tons of carbon equivalent saved due to lighting retrofit Town & City Management, a property management company located in West Yorkshire (United Kingdom), wanted to reduce the energy consumption and carbon footprint of 122 individual apartments. The property management company called on Comtech Green Energy, a carbon footprint specialist, which entrusted Rexel Energy Solutions with the project procurement.

The LED-based lighting retrofit helped save 24,900 kWh,
