By Anna Guyton Energy Savings with Newer Fluorescent Bulbs

Purpose Help UW achieve the Presidential Climate Commitment

Energy-efficient appliance purchasing policy

Offer a cost-benefit analysis of replacing older, inefficient fluorescent bulbs Approach Find out where more energy-efficient solutions could be applied on campus

Research differences in fluorescent bulb energy usage and cost

Determine costs and benefits of upgrading to more efficient bulbs ProblemWRI Building

Lights are the second largest user of energy in commercial buildings and traditional lighting utilizes less than 25% of energy input as light with the rest lost as heat. LED lights operate at much lower temperatures than traditional bulbs, reducing energy costs from air conditioning and lasting 50,000 hours or more, lowering maintenance costs from fewer replacement needs. Switching to LED lighting can reduce a building's carbon footprint from lighting by 85% due to their higher energy efficiency compared to incandescent bulbs, helping address global warming concerns.

CBM Energy StudyBen Taddeo

��

According the Department of Energy’s 2010 Buildings Energy Data Book, the average commercial building in the United States consumes $.70 of electricity per square foot in lighting costs annually. Meanwhile, 13 percent of commercial buildings in the United States are between 25,000 and 50,000 square feet. So by the math, for a typical 35,000- square foot building, lighting costs would be $24,500 annually. This annual lighting cost is for the average building, however in other applications, energy consumption for lighting is far higher. Are there any real solutions??? Just have a look at the brief research work from CBM We will look forward to hear back your thoughts Regards Ben Taddeo Executive Vice President at CBM Corp. ben@cbmbuildingservices.com

Professor Andy Steele discusses challenges and opportunities around increasing household energy efficiency. Recent research found a lack of understanding about the link between energy consumption and cost, as well as "habitual behavior" that is difficult to change. While energy use and expectations of comfort have increased over time, there have also been many advancements in energy-efficient technologies. However, engaging customers with these technologies remains problematic. The challenges include competing priorities for households, disempowering messages about climate change, and a lack of awareness about energy use. Moving forward, greater transparency around costs and immediate savings incentives could help motivate behavior changes, along with community-based and customer-focused approaches.

Overview Lighting and Appliances Making the lighting and appliances in a home more energy efficient is an important part of the weatherization process.�� Exchanging inefficient light bulbs for newer, energy efficient versions is easy and, in most cases, inexpensive. Exchanging appliances for newer, more energy efficient ones is usually worth the effort, although some appliances, such as ovens and stovetops, do not use enough energy to warrant being replaced. Learning Objectives Upon completion of this module, you should be able to: 7A evaluate the best types of artificial lighting. 7B create different applications that bring natural light in a space. 7C discuss which types of appliances are the most energy efficient.

Supplemental Reading Assignments (Required): Division of energy resources (2010).�� Appliances, lighting, electronics an energy guide to help select and operate efficient devices for your home.�� Minneapolis, MN, (pp. 1-32).

Lecture Notes Lighting and Appliances Anything that draws electrical power is referred to as a load.�� Part of weatherizing a home includes minimizing the loads in the home in order to lower energy bills and maximize energy efficiency. Artificial Lighting Artificial lighting is provided by electricity, fixtures, and bulbs.�� Artificial lighting is a big contributor to high energy costs.�� It can contribute as much as 50 percent of the total energy costs of a home. Lynn Clement of Focus on Energy once said, “If every American household replaces light bulbs in their five most frequently used fixtures with ENERGY STAR compact fluorescent bulbs, we could save more than $8 billion in annual energy costs and prevent greenhouse gases equal to the emissions of more than 10 million cars.” Since lighting accounts for 20 to 25 percent of U.S. energy consumption, the move to more energy efficient lighting is very important. Types of Lighting There are three primary uses, or functions, for lighting in homes: task, ambient, and accent.�� Task lighting provides light to perform work.�� Ambient lighting may include light that is used for work but also includes lighting for safety and security.�� Any lighting used for contrast or ambiance is accent lighting.�� There are many different types of artificial lights available for residential uses. Types of Artificial Lighting Incandescent Fluorescent Compact fluorescent High-intensity discharge Halogen Light Emitting diodes Full Spectrum Recessed Lights Incandescent Bulbs Incandescent bulbs, which are also referred to as A-type bulbs,.

The document discusses the different types of light bulbs - incandescent, CFL, and LED. It provides details on their energy efficiency, lifespan, luminous efficiency, power consumption, and environmental impact. LED bulbs are the most efficient option, with energy savings of 80-90% compared to incandescent bulbs. They last 50,000 hours compared to 1,200 hours for incandescent. LEDs do not contain toxic mercury like CFLs. Widespread adoption of LEDs in India could save 9,000 million kWh of electricity annually, worth $850 million. This would significantly reduce the need for new power plants and cut national electricity demand.

Today, a plethora of lighting products gives consumers the power to choose according to their specifications, within acceptable price ranges. Savings to consumers can be calculated not only in terms of money and replacement frequency but also energy consumption and environmental impact. With the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 having concluded its last phase of converting the U.S.A. into a more energy-efficient, light consuming country, it has gotten easier to have consumers turn to more energy-saving light bulbs, i.e., the LED bulb, as opposed to incandescent and fluorescent bulbs.
