Retrofitting Strategy Adoption of task lighting to lower the background lighting
This can reduce the energy consumption of the lighting system because of a lower lux level overall. 
Consideration
  • The system needs to be carefully designed so as not to jeopardise IEQ for the purpose of the space.
Estimated Saving

[å(kW_LGTi,PRE*NLGTi,PRE*LFi,PRE) – å(kW_LGTi,POST*NLGTi,POST*LFi,POST) + å(kW_TLi*NTLi*LFi,TL)]*OPHROT,yr

Where  i is the effective zone of building

OPHROT,yr = hrOT/day*dayOT/wk*52 is the yearly overtime operation

LFi = 1 for ON/OFF control under normal operating time of premises

LFi = (1 – 0.33*0.33) = 0.9 for 33% of power reduction (dim-down to 50% lux level) at 33% of time as an example
