Today, the Cádiz Free Trade Zone has begun the works to renovate the public lighting in the Interior Area of the Free Trade Zone, a project that will adapt the Consortium's facilities to energy efficiency criteria and will result in savings of more than 65%.
The works, which have an award amount of 169,319 euros (VAT not included), will improve the performance of the service at a much lower price.
The work consists of a new lighting installation in accordance with current needs, using the new existing technologies for energy saving, LED type luminaires. The new lighting will reduce light pollution, while at the same time achieving modernization of the facilities and therefore reducing their maintenance costs.
The works, which have a completion period of four months, consist of the installation of arms, supports and other works necessary for the commissioning of the facilities, as well as the removal of the light points and corresponding wiring that is out of service once the new LEDs have been placed.
Along these same lines, the Free Zone has already entered into the final income of the renovation works of the air conditioning system of the Consortium's Headquarters building, which is being carried out by the same company for an amount of 178,506 euros (VAT not included), a contract also co-financed by funds requested in the Feder de Andalucía Operational Framework 2007-2013.
These works are modifying the entire air conditioning system of the Headquarters in order to optimize resources and are sectorizing by zones of use depending on the thermal needs of each area, which will also result in significant savings and greater comfort for users at any time of the year.
Last year, the Consortium began a series of works to adapt the facilities to energy efficiency criteria. In this way, it carried out the project for the implementation of the energy service for improvement, efficiency and savings in the car parks it has in the city of Cádiz, Carranza and Glorieta, in the Exterior Precinct, and Parking in Height, in the Interior Precinct. . Thus, it renewed all the lighting in the aforementioned parking lots and proceeded to install a presence detection system in the Altura parking lot, in addition to connecting the photovoltaic installation in the Altura parking lot to the grid.
