The Salix solution Salix and the school A Salix 100% interest-free £20,559 capital-finance loan and client support offered The Bemrose School a cost and resource effective solution. The Salix project compliance tool showed financial savings from improving their lighting and installing lighting controls throughout the school and allowed the school to achieve a payback of less than 7 years. Once the project has paid back, The Bemrose School will go on to benefit from over £2,944 in annual energy cost savings. The Salix solution funded a lighting upgrade, as well as the installation of lighting controls. This provided a more energy-efficient solution to the original lighting The Bemrose School had and will provide long term savings for the school. The Salix Schools Loans Scheme Programme has provided The Bemrose School to lower their energy consumption and carbon footprint. This is just one of the projects that The Bemrose School is focusing on to decrease their environmental impact and raise awareness throughout the school.
