Up-to-date solutions for reducing electricity consumption in lighting installations

Abstract

Lighting is an important part of the building installations. Current lighting trends in the public and private sectors make lighting energy a significant part of the total electricity consumption of facilities. The provisions included in the standards, directives and regulations prescribe the implementation of the measures contributing to the reduction of electricity consumption, i.e. the improvement of energy efficiency of facilities. The article shows current trends and solutions concerning the reduction of electricity consumption in lighting installations, with the main focus on public utility facilities. The proposed systems are universal and can be implemented in various objects with different purpose and use.
