The Coop case

Nordic Business Light has successfully implemented new lighting solutions for Coop in 700 stores, along with various offices and warehouse facilities. Over 17 months, more than 200,000 light sources were replaced, leading to an annual energy saving of 25 million DKK for Coop. This significant energy reduction translates to a decrease in Coop's CO2 footprint by 6,000 tons each year.

The Coop project is detailed through three sub-cases focusing on the economic outcomes of the project, the benefits for the working environment, and the collaboration with Nordic Business Light.

Better bottom line

Nordic Business Light has upgraded over 700 Coop stores and locations with new LED lighting, resulting in significant annual electricity savings of 25 million DKK. By replacing over 200,000 light sources over a period of 17 months, Coop has experienced a substantial improvement in their energy costs.

The payback period for the project is under 2 years when considering energy savings and the energy subsidies received. Additionally, Coop benefits from other advantages, including lower maintenance costs, improved lighting, and increased employee satisfaction.

The short payback period has been largely achieved by utilizing retrofitting in 60% of the lighting installations. Nordic Business Light has updated existing fixtures to accommodate LED tubes, while the remaining 40% have been equipped with entirely new fixtures.

Healthy work environment

30,000 employees at Coop have received new lighting that is guaranteed flicker-free, resulting in a healthier work environment.

Hvad betyder flimmerfrit?
Flicker-free refers to a phenomenon called flicker, which is essentially a small "pulsation" in the light or the perception that the light is flickering slightly. This may not always be visually detectable, but it can cause headaches, fatigue, and other discomforts when working under lighting with a high flicker level for extended periods. Flicker often occurs in low-quality LED tubes or certain types of fluorescent lights. In the lighting project for Coop, all tubes are guaranteed to be flicker-free.

Nordic Business Light has installed new lighting over 1 million m² across 700 stores, as well as several warehouses and offices. In total, 30,000 employees at Coop have received new lighting that Nordic Business Light guarantees is flicker-free. As a result, employees who are sensitive to flicker can enjoy a better and more productive workday without the risk of headaches or fatigue. When Nordic Business Light calculates the overall bottom-line effect of a lighting investment, an improved work environment is included as a clear ancillary benefit. More alert employees are good for business.

The lighting components and LED tubes installed in the project meet the extensive quality requirements set by Coop. Nordic Business Light has utilized lighting that is guaranteed to be flicker-free, which is crucial for employee well-being and comfort. High color rendering has also been an uncompromising requirement, as this characteristic helps present goods and products better to customers.

Fast Implementation

The successful installation was made possible through rigorous project management, a skilled team of installers, and a deep understanding of Coop's needs and organization.

Nordic Business Light has installed new lighting across 1 million m² in 700 stores, as well as several warehouses and offices. A total of 45 electricians were involved in the task, and it typically took 1-2 days to replace all the lighting in a store. On average, lighting was installed in 10 stores per week, but by the end of 2018, the flow had increased to 50 stores per week. The entire implementation took 17 months, which was in line with the schedule.2 fordelt på 700 butikker samt en række lagre og kontorer. Der har været 45 elektrikere på opgaven, og det har typisk taget 1-2 dage at udskifte alt lyset i en butik. Der er i gennemsnit blevet installeret lys i 10 butikker om ugen, men i slutningen af 2018 var flowet helt oppe på 50 butikker om ugen. Hele implementeringen tog 17 måneder, hvilket var efter planen. 

A crucial element in the successful implementation was Nordic Business Light's collaboration with installers who worked dedicatedly on this project.
