Subsidy scheme for LED lighting at sports clubs

The government likes to encourage companies to do business in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way. That is why the energy investment allowance has been created. This is a tax deduction scheme which means that an additional amount may be deducted from the profit made of the investments made. This is different for sports clubs and foundations. In this article, we would like to tell you more about the subsidy scheme for LED lighting and other sustainable investments at sports clubs.

Subsidy for the investment to reduce energy consumption

Sports associations that take measures to reduce their energy consumption can count on a subsidy of around 30% of the investment from the government. If your association also first has an energy recommendation made, the subsidy will be increased by 500 euros. However, this subsidy is only available for investments from 3000 euros. It is also possible for sports clubs to get a guarantee from the Stichting Waarborgfonds Sport (SWS) for a loan with which the investment can be made.

LED lighting for your sports club

Sports clubs can, of course, be subdivided into indoor and outdoor sports. Is it an outdoor sport and does a whole football or hockey field or tennis court have to be illuminated? Then LED lighting is a smart choice. Replacing the lighting in these high masts is, of course, quite a job, and because LED lighting lasts a lot longer than conventional lighting, it does not have to happen as often. But LED lighting is also a good choice for indoor sports; with this lighting, the athletes experience a lot less annoying.  

Subsidy for LED lighting and more

This subsidy naturally applies to sports clubs that invest in ways to reduce their energy consumption. One of the options for reducing energy consumption is to replace the current lighting with LED lighting. In addition to saving on monthly energy costs, this brings many more benefits to him. For example, the light is of excellent quality, safer because the chance of burning out is nil and LED lighting is a lot more maintenance-friendly; these fixtures last a lot longer than conventional lighting. As a sports club, LED lighting as an investment to reduce energy consumption is a good choice. Of course, there are many more different options for reducing the energy consumption of your sports club. That way you can opt for better insulation, solar panels, and solar boilers. The best thing about your sports club is, of course, different for each sports club. Given that for many sports clubs the energy bill is around 10 to 20 percent of the budget, there are various ways to make a profit.

Conditions for the subsidy scheme for sports clubs

In principle, only sports associations and foundations that are members of the NOC * NSF are eligible for the subsidy scheme for Energy Saving and Making Sports Accommodation Sustainable. A budget is made available for this every year, including in 2018.

Energy-saving light management systems

Every company now has a focus on environmental friendliness.  We all know that the earth is warming up, so it is important to be environmentally conscious, for example by saving energy.  The energy costs are also getting higher, so when savings can be made, this is of course always advantageous for your company.  A lot of energy can be saved on light, of course when you switch to  LED lighting .   But through light management systems, lighting can be used efficiently, saving energy.  In this blog, we tell you more about the different types of light management systems. Motion detection and daylight-dependent lighting systems If a room is already illuminated by natural light, there is, of course, no artificial light required.  And when nobody is present in the room at all, this room does not need to be illuminated either.  That is why lighting systems are being developed based on presence detection and daylight control.  When this is combi...

Everything about RGB LED lighting

RGB stands for Red Green Blue and is used in many applications.  It is also used in LED lighting.  But what is RGB anyway?  And how does RGB LED lighting work?  What are the benefits and what can it best be used for?  We are happy to tell you more about it in this blog. What is RGB? RGB is a specific color model where black is the basic color.  It is an additive color system that is based on the addition of different light colors.  When two primary colors are combined, a lighter color is created.  When the three primary colors are combined, white light is created.  RGB is widely used in displays.  If you look closely at a pixel, you will see a red, green and blue sub-pixel that together produce the correct light color. Another common color model is CMYK.  A big difference between CMYK is that when CMYK mixes all colors, black is created.  White then forms with RGB. How does RGB LED lighting work? With RGB LED lightin...
