Queen Mary, University of London case study
"When students visit the library they can now focus on what they need to - learning. Cu-Beam Up lighting means no more flickering bulbs and outages."
Julien Dixon
The business
Queen Mary University of London is among the UK's leading research focused universities. based in the heart of London's East End, it has over 21,000 students and 4,000 staff - and seven Nobel-Prize winners among its alumni. The library is part of a $141 million investment in new facilities.
The problem
Light levels can affect students' well-being, their ability to concentrate and overall study experience. Creating an environment where students can thrive is paramount.
The library's existing lights needed frequent bulb replacement, creating prolonged periods of weak light. Poor lighting - either too bright or too dim - can cause eyestrain and headaches, affecting study performance.
The solution: Cu-Beam Up light
"The old lights didn't support our carbon reduction target. Now we're noticeably reducing the energy consumption, despite the building being open longer," says Dixon.
