When lighting becomes a service

What	Proof of savings, no upfront investment, 10-year maintenance contract, well-founded lighting and energy advice.
Where	Various locations throughout Belgium.
How	In close collaboration with local financing and lighting partners.

 

As an expert in water and waste for 150 years and present on 5 continents, SUEZ harnesses all its capacity for innovation to work toward efficient and sustainable resource management.

In 2015 SUEZ decided to roll-out several energy efficiency initiatives at the 15 Belgian sites to contribute to its corporate ambition: leading the resource revolution. Installing connected lighting is one of these initiatives. This allows SUEZ to maximize energy savings and to reduce CO2 emissions significantly, now and in the future.

 

Zero upfront investment

 

SUEZ chose ESCO financing instead of upfront investment. This has resulted in a positive cash flow from day one as a part of the achieved energy savings is used to pay the costs of the new connected lighting system. The other part is pure profit. These savings are accomplished by optimum use of the large amount of daylight entering the waste processing areas, combined with a wide range of other lighting controls strategies.

 

Worry-free lighting

 

SUEZ and ORKA agreed to a 10-year maintenance contract. Based on luminaire status provided by Luxon dynamic light management software, issues are diagnosed and resolved as necessary. This ensures SUEZ of always having the right light, at the right place, under all circumstances.
