Lighting Management – Leveraging Greater Efficiency
Artificial light illuminates living spaces, office buildings and manufacturing facilities, lights up the streets at night and highlights landmarks. In fact, lighting currently accounts for about 19 % of electricity consumption worldwide. From a business standpoint, however, another aspect always has to be considered: the efficiency of the equipment. The largest factor here is the cost of energy, which, at around 70 % of the total costs of a lighting system, makes a significant difference to the budget. Therefore, energy optimization of any lighting system, whether through upgrades or a new system, makes good sense.
