Justification of Lighting Redesign in Energy Saving on the Example of the Right Bank of the Vrbas River Between Two Bridges

Abstract

Modern technologies are evolving in the direction of energy efficiency and artificial light sources that today meet such targeted requirements have many other advantages that are not always recognized in planning. Utilizing the total capacity of energy efficient light sources requires a redesign and a different approach to public lighting planning. Using a small coverage along the river as a representative example, the possibilities of fulfilling the set strategic goal of the city development were presented through a proposal for redesign of urban lighting, and then the energy and economic justification of such a proposal was examined using the APEE method, which is also implemented in public lighting reconstruction in Banja Luka.
