Abstract

Lighting is an extremely efficient way of altering perception. In India, lighting sector consumes one fifth of total electricity consumption. Lighting sector is one of the dominant energy guzzlers and also contributes significantly to peak load. Lighting measures have been identified as one of the most effective opportunity for reducing energy usage. Moreover, the energy reduction in lighting sector also has a secondary effect on the HVAC load and peak HVAC requirements of a building. This paper talks about the energy efficiency opportunity in an existing commercial building (hotel) and how it helps bring down HVAC load.
