Le Monde Petit Day Nursery in Burnley, Lancashire, has reduced its carbon footprint with the installation of a new suspended ceiling that uses low-energy lighting. The single-storey, open-plan premises previously had a ceiling that let out heat and made the nursery dark.
Managing director Jennie Bracewell says, 'The new ceiling has been up for a month now and everyone is feeling the benefits. Disruption to the nursery was minimal while the work was being carried out, and it only took a week to complete. It has transformed the atmosphere of the indoor environment, making it lighter and giving it a calm feel.'
