Donaghmede Shopping Centre wins award 

DONAGHMEDE Shopping Centre was celebrating recently after winning a Green Jersey Award as part of the Harcourt Shopping Centre group.  

The centres received the award from Rayal Energy for replacing their existing lighting with LED lighting and the results have been immediate and extremely cost effective.  

Donaghmede Shopping Centre is committed to being as energy efficient as possible and the conversion to LED has vastly reduced the centre’s energy consumption.

Ed McCulloch, the property manager who received the award on behalf of Donaghmede SC and the other Harcourt Centres, said:  “Harcourt Developments are proud to receive the Green Jersey award from Rayal Energy for saving 642,401 kg of CO2 by making the big switch to LED. 

“All six shopping centres in the Harcourt Group have now completed LED lighting upgrades which use significantly less energy than fluorescent fixtures, while increasing lumen output to make our centres brighter. 

“On average the upgrades have provided energy savings of approximately 40 percent, so great for the planet and our tenants.”
