t5 on the way

Next week sees the Shire start the installation of new T5 energy efficient fluorescent tubes throughout our high energy use facilities. Included in the upgrade to the new efficient lighting is the Anderson Street Council Complex in Lilydale, the Chapel Street offices in Lilydale, Mooroolbark Community Centre, Upper Yarra Arts Centre, Kilsyth Pool, Yarra Pool and on a more local level Burrinja and the Monbulk Pool.

It is anticipated that the change will result in energy savings of more than 25% once the changeover is complete. It's an extensive task which will see more than 2000 tubes upgraded. The facilities were identified through an energy audit undertaken on shire facilities last year.
