Lighting systems can be responsible for a substantial amount of the energy used by businesses, sometimes up to 50 per cent. Energy use associated with lighting systems can be reduced by up to 82 per cent if energy efficient lighting practices are adopted.
Energy Saver provides the following tools to help you understand your lighting system and enable you to identify, implement and realise energy and cost savings.
