2 ENERGY SAVINGS
Increasing energy costs have become a significanare expected to continue to increase in theforeseeable future. Businesses, institutions and cobe searching for more effi cient products and solu
applications for more effi cient products are availagreater opportunities exist in the largely untappemarket. Lighting is recognized as a major area foenergy savings.
Programs are in place to influence market and cotowards more energy effi cient products. For examguide for Houses and R2000, Energuide for Exi(EEB), and Commercial Building IncentiveProgram (CBIP) along with the use of the Enerlabelling program are some of the NRCan progrpromote energy effi cient lighting products.
Tere are also national efforts to mandate and inregulate energy effi ciency and appear in various fcodes and standards and building guidelines to li

Ratification of Kyoto is expected to accelerate thecommercial value of emission reduction credits with e
trading of emission credits or approved allowances. Tfederal government is in the process of defining the rcreation of greenhouse gas allowances within Canada
Provincially there are specific initiatives underway for
NOxreduction. For example, in Ontario offsets can band made available through a provincial registry. Teances can be created from energy improvements,especially lighting improvements.

For example, in a commercial building in oronto, thoriginal scope of work would have resulted in electric
lighting savings of 37%, which on the surface would ato be a respectable objective. However, a lighting desiretained and a comprehensive design solution wasprovided. Te project achieved:

A proper life cycle costing analysis will provide arealistic financial picture of an energy retrofit prosimple payback evaluation. Unfortunately, energybeen a low priority and for convenience, the Simanalysis is often used to evaluate energy projects,
lighting projects.Simple Payback consists of the project capitadivided by the annual energy savings realizedresult is the number of years it takes for the sfor the initial investment, e.g.; $100,000 proj

Te Internal Rate of Return method finds the diswhich matches the cash inflows, and the cash
outflows leaving a Net Present Value of zero. Acompany can then make capital investment decision the projects that have the highest Internal RatReturn; e.g., with interest rates below 10%, a projdelivers an IRR above 10% creates a
positive cash flow.
c. Lighting Levels
Light level, or more correctly, Illuminance Level, is eameasured using an illuminance meter. Illuminance is
energy striking a surface. It is measured in lux (SI) orcandles (Imperial). Te IESNA (Illuminating EngineSociety of North America) publishes tables of recomilluminance levels for all possible tasks. It is importanthat the illuminance level has no relevance to the lightin

Lighting systems, just like furnaces, chillers, motors aare part of the 45-year-old facilities and have adefined life span. Over time, lamp sockets and intern
wiring deteriorate, lenses become cracked and brokenTerefore, at some point it is more economical to repthan to continue to repair.
Another significant concern for the facility manager in use. Computers were unheard of in primary and se
education when these facilities were constructed, but now in common use both in the classroom and for famanagement. Curriculums have also evolved, and somties, such as science labs, now have verydifferent uses. As a result, there are many classrooms

Incandescence
Solids and liquids emit visible radiation when theheated to temperatures above 1,000 K.
Te intensity increases and the appearance becomas the temperature increases.
Tis phenomenon is known as incandescence or
temperature radiation.Application: incandescent lamps.
Luminescence
Luminescence is the emission of light not ascribe to incandescence.
wo important types of luminescence are electricdischarge, and fluorescence.

Application: gas discharge lamps.
Fluorescence
Radiation at one wavelength is absorbed, usuand is re-emitted at a different wavelength.
When the re-emitted radiation is visible andhappens only during the absorption time, theis called fluorescence.
If the emission continues after the excitation
phenomenon is called phosphorescence.In the fluorescent lamp, the ultraviolet radiatfrom the gas discharge is converted into visiba phosphor coating on the inside of the tube.

A tungsten filament is used because of its hig point and low rate of evaporation at high tem
Te filament is coiled to shorten the overall lreduce thermal loss.
Te filament is enclosed in a glass bulb filled

Clear MV lamps have a bluish-white colour
colour rendering.
Phosphor-coated MV lamps have a better coappearance and colour rendering.
Effi cacy
MV lamps are the least effi cient of all HID l
MV lamps are more effi cient than incandesceless effi cient than fluorescent lamps.

Available Wattage
Sizes range from 40 to 1,500 watts.
Rated Average Life
6,000 hours (70 W) to 20,000 (400 W).
Colour
MH lamps are available in both clear andphosphor-coated versions.
Clear lamps produce a slightly bluish-white ca CRI far superior to MV lamps.
Phosphor-coated lamps produce a warmer-lolight and an improved CRI.

MH lamps are more effi cient than MV and fluorlamps, but less effi cient than HPS and low pressu(LPS) lamps.
