Queensland Police Service fit-out

The Queensland Police Service CBD facility fitout was completed

in 2004/2005. Utilising an Energy Conservation Systems (ECS)

lighting control system, occupancy based switching and daylight harvesting have

delivered an efficient lighting design and flexibility for future changes. The integration

of this system has led to a significant saving in energy and CO₂ emissions.

The Queensland Government’s newest office building located in Cairns

has attained ‘World Leader’ green status – the first outside of a capital city.

In line with the lighting engineer’s vision, an emphasis on real world

performance was placed before Greenstar ‘point scoring’ to achieve a highly energy efficient

yet highly comfortable building. Highlights include effective daylighting and shading, a novel

approach to daylight harvesting, direct/indirect lighting and the integration of ceiling fans.

Between November 2008 and March 2009, QPAC refurbished its major

theatres and public spaces for the first time since the centre was

constructed 25 years ago. This was an opportunity for QPAC to introduce

more efficient lighting practices without compromising the nature of the building and its use.

As part of the refurbishment, aged incandescent and large wattage fixtures were replaced with

LED and halogen lights. In the Concert Hall auditorium, the original 2500 watt profiles were

replaced with three-colour LED lighting and theatrical fixtures, each of 1200 watts.

These changes have minimised the amount of lights required to produce colour on stage,

while backstage, single watt LED bulbs have replaced 60+ watt ‘blue’ light circuits. One year

and three months after the refurbishment, QPAC is seeing energy savings which are expected

to improve with further work due to be completed by the end of 2010.

Key elements to effective lighting

Efficient lighting is something everybody appears to be looking for,

whether it be to meet legislated government criteria, to achieve a

Greenstar or NABERS rating, or to save money in the face of rising

energy costs. To achieve efficient lighting 4 key elements need to be addressed.

Energy efficiency regulation and quality lighting
Presenter: Steve Coyne

Listen to Presentation

There are two levels of energy efficiency which have the potential to

affect quality lighting outcomes: energy efficiency of lighting product

and energy efficiency of lighting design. The type of regulatory tool

implemented for each can have a significant impact on quality lighting outcomes and

compliance levels. Whatever form the regulation takes, it is apparent that in the future,

quality lighting outcomes will require knowledge, expertise and training in lighting design
