Helix tests LED lighting

Helix, home to the Department of Chemical Engineering, has started experimenting with LED lighting recently. On part of the third floor of the TU/e building, the static, yellow-ish, and especially energy-consuming traditional fluorescent tubes will be replaced. DH has calculated that using LEDs may reduce energy consumption by up to 63 percent.

The current pilot is a way to find out whether or not that percentage can be reached. The project will be evaluated in mid April. After that, other older buildings on campus will receive the same treatment. All new buildings are already fitted with LED lighting.
