You want to cut energy costs in your facility. How can you do it without compromising on lighting quality?

I belive Reducing energy costs in a facility without compromising lighting quality involves strategic measures. Transitioning to LED lighting, implementing smart controls like occupancy sensors and daylight harvesting, and using high-efficiency fixtures contribute to significant energy savings. Task lighting in work areas and optimizing natural light through thoughtful design further enhance efficiency. Regular maintenance and employee awareness programs ensure sustained benefits. The key is to integrate these strategies into a comprehensive lighting management plan, achieving energy savings while maintaining optimal lighting quality.

Avaliar as necessidades é fundamental, pois cada ambiente exige uma determina potência e temperatura de cor, dessa forma uma análise dos ambientes é o primeiro passo. Muitas vezes a escolha por luminárias erradas para determinados ambientes fazem o cliente gastar mais do que necessitaria, além de não trazer conforto luminotécnico ao ambiente.

Primeiro passo é confrontar o projeto luminotécnico e as instalações reais. Muitas vezes o layout é alterado, tornando-se necessário maior adequação de iluminação ou até mesmo, possibilidade de redução. E é justamente nesse momento que a revisão do projeto original pode nortear.

First analysis the actual condition and there are many ways to reduce Consumption of electricity viz. LED, timers for parking and solar energy etc

One thing I've found help full, arrange light switches so it's easy to turn them off. Place switches for rooms at the door. Use sensors or timers on external lights, so they are only on when they need to be. Also, consider using transparent shades or fittings, as dark lampshade can absorb some of the light a bulb emits.

In my perspective I would reduce the cost with replacing the current technology lightening with different updated technology, some people will only think of LEDs only while there might be some new technology arriving at some point!! Okay here is the key, when we want to replace the lightening with new technology to reduce the cost, this means that we might need to do a revamping to the whole system, this can cost us so much money though. The case here is, we can offer our used lightening to be sold as there must people or a place who want them as they are cheaper than the market with a large number of lights. The income from there can be used to get the new technology with less cost and win win situation.

Atualizar o sistema de iluminação é fundamental. Lâmpadas em LED consomem muito menos e duram muito mais do que as lâmpadas convencionais, principalmente as lâmpadas de vapor metálico. Realizar um estudo e elaborar um projeto de atualização, permite na maioria das vezes que o investimento se pague com a própria economia e com paybacks bem interessantes.

In my experience, The organization need the following: 1. LED Lighting: Replace traditional lighting fixtures with LED lights, which consume significantly less energy and have a longer lifespan. 2. Occupancy Sensors: Install occupancy sensors that automatically turn off lights in unoccupied areas, reducing unnecessary energy usage. 3. Daylight Harvesting: Implement daylight harvesting systems that adjust artificial lighting levels based on natural light availability, minimizing energy consumption during daylight hours.

By upgrading the lighting technology and automated the need of lighting controls also we can cut the energy cost up to 80% cost

Não há como fugir do LED atualmente. Você também pode contar com persianas automáticas que auxiliam nessa iluminação. Invista em sensores de presença.

Um bom projeto luminotecnico lhe auxiliará na otimizar de recursos para cada ambiente. Cada ambiente necessita de uma iluminação específica de acordo com o estabelecido na ABNT NBR, dessa forma o projetista deve estabelecer a quantidade de luminárias de acordo com a quantidade de luz necessários para determinadas tarefas.

One technology that I have found helpful is to installation of a motion sensor for lighting control. It will turn off the lights if there is no one within its sensing perimeter. Also, if possible, lights should be dimmable so that if less light is required it can be adjusted to save energy and environment.

Lightening system is very important and some people argue that lightening system is only a normal system that does not seem important while they will be in the dark and can’t walk without the lights. what is the point? Lightening needs proper maintenance plan and techniques to make sure that the service is provided with the best practice.

Optimize lighting systems by using energy-efficient LED bulbs, implementing smart lighting controls, and ensuring proper maintenance. Conduct an energy audit to identify areas for improvement, and encourage staff to turn off lights when not needed. Additionally, consider natural lighting options to reduce reliance on artificial sources without sacrificing illumination quality.

Define measure analyze improve and control is a methodology used in lean management production. This method has helped me a lot in addressing performance and efficiency target’s in-the past. This can be used very effectively in facility management to identify projects or just adjusting maintenance plans for better efficiency.

Campanhas de conscientização também precisam ser feitas constantemente. Se for possivel, faça um investimento pontual em uma empresa que possa medir o desperdício em salas. Existem muitas empresas no mercado especialistas em eficiência energética em escritórios. Avalie também o consumo na concessionária: Consumo de Ponta, fora de Ponta e Contratos disponíveis para sua empresa .

Para reducir los costes de iluminación en tu empresa o cliente, puedes: - Sustituir los equipos antiguos de iluminación por otros nuevos de mayor rendimiento, como las bombillas LED, que consumen entre un 80% y un 85% menos que las tradicionales. - Aprovechar la luz natural, usar colores claros ennparedes y utilizar reguladores de luz, que permiten disminuir el gasto energético en iluminación. - Instalar temporizadores y sensores de movimiento, que encienden y apagan las luces según la presencia o ausencia de personas, reduciendo el consumo entre un 2% y un 45%.
