Retrofitting Strategy Replacement of high efficacy lighting source
Retrofit the lighting system using lighting source of higher lighting efficacy can reduce the lighting energy intensity of the space. The higher the efficacy of the lighting source / luminaire and the better the distribution pattern, the lower will be the energy used to produce the same or even better lighting effect for the space. (e.g. Nano coated reflector) 
Consideration
  • Review of the lighting layout to suit the characteristics of the new luminaires should be done to see if the lighting layout needs to be rearranged. There may be opportunities for reducing the number of luminaires.
  • The layout of the new lighting system should be reviewed or redesigned as the lighting characteristic of the new lighting source will be different from the replaced lighting source.
  • LED lightings enable energy saving and durability. It provides higher efficacy compared with traditional form of light fittings and is far more durable. LED lightings also emit lower heat energy and which requires less energy for ventilation.
Estimated Saving

(kW_LGTPRE*NLGTPRE – kW_LGTPOST*NLGTPOST) *OPHR,yr

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

Where  OPHR,yr = hr/day*day/wk*52
