The Challenge
With a combination of luminaires including suspended 28W fluorescent twin lamp configuration & 2x26W CFL based downlighters installed in office; lighting is estimated to account for 40-45% of the energy cost with other major element being HVAC. With a steep rise in energy costs over the past 2 years, lighting energy consumption has become a major concern. Biggest barrier to upgrade from conventional lighting to LED in any Institution is high capital upfront cost.
Upgrade to IB LED Resulted in the Following:
• Commercial offices got high energy ef ficient lighting.
• Net energy cost payable would remain same for 24 months as IB LED will be paid out of the savings incurred.
• After 24 months, commercial offices would enjoy 40-45% energy savings in the net energy cost over the next 10 Years
• Commercial offices got a Lighting Upgrade, creating better lighting envi ronment for its employees thus improving productivity & efficiency.
