In December 2018, CREW was awarded £12,500 in funding by the GLA London Community Energy Fund (Phase 2) to work with Devas Club to develop a project that will install LEDs and a Building Management System (BMS) to help make the Devas Club building more energy efficient.
Phase 1 - Complete
CREW Energy achieved a community energy first by installing LED lighting and a building management system during phase 1 of its transformation project at Devas Club in 2019 –This will cut energy usage by 25%, amounting to a carbon saving of 11.72 tonnes per annum and a combined total of £3,400 on their energy bills. These savings can be reinvested in core service delivery to the Club members and other community groups.
Phase 2 & 3 – Ongoing (as of July 2020)
Following this initial phase, from July 2020, CREW is implementing more LED lighting, secondary glazing and destratifiers. CREW was recently awarded £27,000 by the Wandsworth Local Fund to complete this work. This will be followed by phase 3 – a heat pump system – in autumn 2020, which will be funded by our upcoming share offer.
Testimonial 2019
“We are delighted that the UKPN's grant has enabled us to install LED lighting and a building management system throughout the youth centre, not only to save running costs, but to help us fulfil our target of reducing our emissions by 5% per year over the next three years." - Johnny Devas, Director of Devas Club
About The Devas Club
Founded in 1884 just off Lavender Hill in Battersea, south-west London. The club serves young people daily providing a range of activities and services.
