Located in the centre of Hove, WestWerks is a flexible office space, where you can work in an affordable office or hire out rooms for community projects.

In co-operation with AJ Taylor Electrical, BHESCo designed and installed a 12kW rooftop solar PV system that will deliver 10% of the property’s annual electrical needs.

In addition, we arranged for a new energy saving lighting system to be installed that will reduce electrical consumption by 50%.

The project was completed in Spring 2016 and paid for using BHESCo’s ‘Pay As You Save’ finance model.

We help our customers meet the financial and environmental costs of their energy

For this community energy project, BHESCo partnered with AJTaylor, a local electrical contractors that provided a high-quality system with the largest long-term output and are based in Brighton.

Alongside the Solar PV a new lighting system was also installed, replacing lighting units within the building with low-energy, efficient LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes).

The new lights and Solar Panels will be leased from BHESCo to West Werks for a period of 10 years, after which time the new installations will belong to them who will benefit from 100% of the financial savings.

    A detailed examinaton of the West Werk’s energy bills for 2015 suggested that they will reduce their electricity consumption by an impressive 47% by switching to LED lighting and Solar PV.

    This will reduce their carbon emissions by 26.8 tonnes over the lifetime of the technologies, which is a significant amount!

    That’s the equivalent of providing a home with electricity for 4.7 years!
