Case Study:
Birtenshaw Group

Background

Birtenshaw Schools provide education and support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Operating in an environment that requires a reliable energy supply for essential equipment and daily operations, the school sought to improve energy efficiency while reducing costs and carbon emissions.

Challenges:

  • High electricity costs due to excess voltage supply from the grid
  • Unnecessary energy wastage affecting operational efficiency
  • Commitment to sustainability and carbon footprint reduction
  • Need to maintain a stable power supply for critical educational and support equipment

Solution:

Powerhub Solutions implemented a Voltage Optimisation (VO) system tailored to the school’s specific energy requirements. By regulating and reducing incoming voltage to optimal levels, the system enabled the school to achieve significant energy savings while ensuring consistent performance of electrical appliances.

  • Energy Savings: Achieved an average reduction of 53 kWh per day (£215 + a week).
  • Cost Reduction: Significant decrease in electricity bills
  • Sustainability Impact: Lower carbon footprint in line with environmental goals
  • Improved Equipment Lifespan: Reduced electrical stress on appliances, minimising maintenance costs

Conclusion:

Through the implementation of Voltage Optimisation technology, Birtenshaw Schools have successfully reduced energy costs, improved efficiency, and enhanced sustainability efforts. This case study demonstrates the tangible benefits of VO for educational institutions seeking cost-effective energy saving solutions.
