Unlocking new opportunities for retrofit: New CIBSE-certified CPD explains the potential of wireless lighting controls

Prime Controls has launched a new CIBSE-certified CPD module, Unlocking energy savings in buildings with retrofit wireless lighting controls, designed to support the growing demand for smarter, more sustainable commercial building retrofits.

The CPD explores the operational and cost-saving benefits of retrofitting wireless lighting controls in industrial and commercial buildings. Often misunderstood, wireless lighting controls can deliver energy savings of up to 40% on top of existing LED installations, while also providing measurable benefits for occupant wellbeing, ESG performance and sustainability goals.

Authored by Prime Controls (part of Prime Light Group), one of the UK’s market leaders in wireless lighting control solutions, the CPD addresses a key industry knowledge gap around wireless lighting technology. It is aimed at professionals responsible for reducing operational energy use in buildings, including consultants, engineers, facilities managers and sustainability specialists.

Valuable learning opportunities

As retrofit demand continues to surge, driven by energy targets, wellbeing priorities and ESG commitments, this CPD provides a timely and valuable learning resource. 

Key learning points include:

  • The main drivers behind the rise in commercial building retrofit projects
  • How wireless lighting controls unlock additional energy savings beyond LED upgrades
  • Why wireless systems are ideally suited to retrofit, offering scalable, low-disruption and cost-effective solutions
  • Real-world benefits for occupant wellbeing, sustainability and compliance, while dispelling common myths around wireless controls

The CPD is available for both groups and individuals and can be delivered online or in person. Registrations of interest can be made via the Prime Controls website or through CIBSE’s CPD directory.
