Lighting Management – Leveraging Greater Efficiency
Artificial light illuminates living spaces, office buildings and manufacturing halls; it lights up the streets at night and puts landmarks into the limelight. In fact, lighting currently accounts for some 19% of worldwide electricity consumption. From the business side, however, another aspect is always under consideration: system efficiency. The largest influencing factor here is the cost of energy, which, at around 70% of the total costs of a lighting system, is reflected in the budget. Energy optimization of each lighting system, whether through upgrades or purchased new, will be apparent in future savings.
