Halesowen College Achieves 83 % Energy Savings with Eco Pulse Smart Lighting
To meet ambitious Net Zero goals, Halesowen College partnered with Uni Smart Solutions to replace fragmented, inefficient lighting with a unified smart-lighting network powered by Eco Pulse.
The fully managed, OPEX-funded system now delivers 83 % energy savings, 64 tonnes CO₂ reduction, and 20 % operating-cost savings, while improving compliance and learning environments across campus.
The Challenge
- Limited capital budgets following ONS reclassification restricted sustainability investment.
- Fragmented lighting systems offered no central visibility or control.
- Manual emergency-lighting checks consumed time and risked compliance gaps.
Goal: Cut energy, carbon, and costs without major capital spend.
The Solution
Uni Smart Solutions designed and delivered a turnkey Eco Pulse Smart Lighting system:
- Bluetooth Mesh + DALI D4i network across 3 blocks
- Automated compliance testing & digital reporting
- Predictive maintenance and cloud analytics
- Managed OPEX model with guaranteed ROI
Installation took less than 7 days per block with zero disruption to teaching.
