Ridge has worked with Debenhams since 1996, providing specialist mechanical and electrical cost management services to projects in new stores and remodelled existing stores.
The initial store list was driven by the stores’ energy performance and length of remaining lease, with a view to including a range of store types to arrive at a design guide to take forward on to future roll out programmes.
Ridge developed a detailed commercial business case for each tranche of LED projects and all calculated savings are fully validated via remote ‘before and after’ metering.
We continually examine and challenge the suitability of the LED products, evaluate new technologies and regularly market-test them. We also review the design and installation methods to arrive at cost effective solutions across a very diverse and challenging estate.
Debenhams required us to:
In addition, Ridge continually evaluates the estate, using sensitivity analysis, to identify the most appropriate time for specific stores to be included on each programme.
In addition to saving over 20 million kWh per annum of electricity across 70 stores at a payback of just over four years, stores have benefited from the enhanced lighting quality and lux levels with a reduced requirement for store cooling.
The ‘all-in’ programme payback solution has allowed stores to be included that would have otherwise been left as a problem for the future. Lighting solutions have been found for the majority of lighting fittings and store types across the estate allowing for future stores to benefit from the ongoing R&D.
