Are you planning to invest in LED luminaires for your business lighting in the Netherlands this year? Then you have chosen an excellent time to do so, since there is a good chance of you being eligible for the Energy Investment Allowance (EIA). This tax benefit amounts to as much as 13.5% of the investment amount.
The Netherlands government is keen to encourage sustainable measures in business. A tax deduction is therefore applicable to certain energy-efficient techniques. Veko LED lighting is listed for this initiative.
Our Account Manager knows all about possible investment allowance measures, in the Netherlands and abroad. He will gladly tell you about them, and inform you on how to apply. Contact us for a non-binding consultation.
Looking to qualify a project according to BREEAM classifications? Veko LED lighting will give you important BREEAM credits. Sustainable business starts here.
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment's Environmental Assessment Method) is the leading and globally most widely used method for measuring the environmental performance of buildings. Buildings are assessed in nine different sustainability categories: management, health, energy, transport, water, materials, waste, land use, and ecology and pollution.
Building BREEAM credits with Veko
By using Veko products it is possible to earn BREEAM points in various sustainability categories:
With Veko LED linear lighting, you will get the maximum number of BREEAM points in the category ‘Health’. Veko provides just the right light at the right time. Light contributes significantly to productivity, job satisfaction, and health.
Veko LED luminaires achieve an extraordinary light output with low power consumption. LED lighting by Veko therefore in itself contributes to extremely high energy savings (up to 70%). BREEAM is already very appreciative of these figures. However, if lighting is also dynamically controlled, for example with a light management system, savings are even greater (up to 90%).
Veko also achieves energy savings in assembly: pre-assembled Veko lines are installed faster than any comparable product.
All Veko lighting systems are manufactured just-in-time at our CO2-friendly factory in Schagen, the Netherlands. Hardly any energy-consuming storage is needed. In addition, Veko is close to its European customers, saving energy on transport.
Veko assembles its aluminium LED luminaires on aluminium profiles. Not only does aluminium last much longer than more commonly applied sheet steel (about 50%), but aluminium also provides effective temperature management. This means that Veko light lines last longer (and we can easily offer a 10-year warranty). In addition, aluminium is recyclable.
Veko does very well on waste management at the construction site. Veko light systems are delivered pre-assembled and unpackaged (which is unique). Only a very small amount of waste is generated, and the assembly teams take this back for reuse.
For Veko, climbing the CO2 Performance Ladder means that we’re constantly aware of our energy consumption levels. That’s in our DNA, as it has always been. Even thirty and forty years ago, there was great awareness of the environment and the need to make energy savings, a trend that applied both to factories and offices. This environmental awareness is stimulated at all times and at all levels in the organization.
Veko is constantly working on reducing its CO2 footprint by being very careful about using energy. Meanwhile, Veko is certified at Level 3 of the CO2 Performance Ladder.
How many years does it take to earn back your investment in new industrial LED lighting? We fully understand and acknowledge the importance of this information. Veko guarantees that you will have earned back your investment in Veko lighting in 1 to 5 years. The exact payback time depends on the amount of operational hours, the kilowatt hour price and a thorough lighting plan. Our account manager can determine this very accurately for you.
Our account manager will be happy to arrange a trial setup at your location. This will provide you with a very clear picture of our lighting and helpful information about the actual light output. We will also install a consumption meter and our account manager will conduct measurements. Since measurements provide certainty, you will be sure to make the right choice. Request a test setup now.
Are you going to renovate your business lighting? Then it might be a good idea to apply for a test setup first. After all, this is the best way to see the difference between new (LED) lighting and your current lighting system. You will know exactly what to choose.
