Local office lighting in Fort Augustus
Meeting rooms are where Fort Augustus offices waste most light. Presence detectors that switch off after a set time pay back quickly in rooms that sit empty for half the day.
Many Fort Augustus office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Fort Augustus is a smaller town, covered by postcode district PH32. We regularly work across the Highlands and Islands, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
We cover Fort Augustus by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
