Calculate your savings
Using the information collected from your visual inspection of the existing
system and Technology Table 1, follow the example that follows to calculate
the potential energy savings from upgrading to a more energy efficient system.
Calculations are made automatically with the Lighting Calculator on the website.
The scenario: A tenant has a single floor office space which has 20 light fittings,
each with two standard 36 watt halophosphor fluorescent lamps and magnetic ballasts.
It is proposed to upgrade to one triphosphor fluorescent lamp with a specular
reflector in each fitting. The magnetic ballast is to be replaced with an electronic ballast.
