De La Salle College

De La Salle College is one of the most prestigious Catholic boys secondary schools in Melbourne. The School has three campuses and extensive state-of-the-art facilities.

Background

We began working with De La Salle College in 2017 following a referral from another school. They knew to trust Shine On due to our extensive work with other private and public high schools in the area, including their sister school Star of the Sea College.

The project

Over the last few years we have conducted several LED lighting projects, systematically upgrading their Malvern campuses lights from old energy-sucking halogens and fluorescents to market-leading energy efficient LEDs. In total we have upgraded nearly 2,000 lights over many school holidays periods in every area of the school – classrooms, theatre, gymnasium, libraries etc.

Results

Since we began working with De La Salle, their energy costs have decreased an estimated 68% which saves them over $35,213 per year in energy costs.      

We’ve done quite a bit of work with Shine On over the last few years and they were done well and efficiently…everything was done in the timeframes that were set out.
