2012 Annual Report - Media Prima Berhad

Media Prima Berhad
Commitment
to the Environment
There is no dedicated team or committee responsible for
monitoring energy savings at our TV and Radio Networks.
However, steps have been taken to promote energy saving
through a poster awareness campaign in all departments.
Utilisation of energy in Media Prima largely depends on
many other factors such as volume of production. This
translates to usage of facilities such as studios and
equipment. The Engineering Department is required to
optimise the utilisation of energy at all times and minimise
wastage. It is also the responsibility of the Engineering
units to explore new innovative products and technology.
These include LED, soft lights, auto switches and timers.
In 2012, a number of energy saving initiatives were
introduced at Sri Pentas:
• 50% of the Sri Pentas’ Studio A’s (News Studio)
conventional Studio Lights have been replaced with
cooled energy saving lights.
• A number of Studio B and Studio C Parcan 1kW lights
were replaced with 38W cyclorama LED equivalent lights.
• Approximately 20% of the Parcan (1kW) Lights were
changed to cyclorama LED saving light. Additional LED
Moving Head Wash (230W) Lights were also
incorporated and installed in Studio 1 and 2 in our
Glenmarie Building.
• An additional batch of 30 units of different LED
fluorescent lights were purchased for testing at Sri
Pentas. The previous test calculations found that the
payback ROI exceeded two years. It is anticipated that
the price will be cheaper by next year and we are
considering replacing our office lighting with
LED Fluorescents.
