Wallyford Learning Campus, East Lothian

CASE STUDY

Maximising daylight and minimising energy costs

Wallyford Learning Campus sits at the heart of a £47.2m building and is the newest secondary school in East Lothian, opened in August 2023. Consisting of multi-use spaces for both learners and the local community, it’s more than your typical school.

The project brief was written to complement Wallyford Learning Campus, which features modern teaching and social spaces and has been designed to encourage natural light to flow throughout the building – with the contractor seeking a ‘one-stop-shop’ solution from a single source lighting and controls provider.

We were approached by M&E Contractors Dalkia to deliver a total project solution, including Whitecroft’s market-leading Foil – a flexible integrated services solution with built-in acoustic rafts to mitigate noise reverberation.

The solution

Working with consultant Rybka, over 2,500 luminaires were installed at Wallyford Learning Campus, each pre-fitted with flexes for quick setup, saving time on wiring. The client opted for a controls solution with occupancy detection, enabling automatic lighting control based on movement. Steven Griffin, CEng, MCIBSE, Rybka Associate, noted that maximizing natural daylight was a key goal, with the lighting and controls designed to complement it, enhancing energy efficiency and aligning with the building's architecture. Whitecroft Lighting’s products were chosen for their cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and energy efficiency.
