From Start to Finish: Energy
Projects Made Easy
How these guides work
Our ‘Energy Projects Made Easy’ e-event is designed to provide you with tools and tips
to help you implement an energy efficiency project. Each of these guides focuses on a
different type of project, and each is packed with hints, tips, links and case-study
information. These presentations are not designed to be detailed step by step toolkits;
rather, they aim to provide guidance and inspiration for your future energy efficiency
projects.
Each guide follows a similar format:
• an introduction to the topic
• the types of improvements you can make
• how to calculate the costs and benefits of your project – developing a business
case for the project
• tips and pointers towards suppliers and potential funding opportunities
Energy Projects Made Easy, Guide 1: Lighting
Blue case-study boxes are dotted throughout these
guides. All are from Alliance members who have
successfully implemented a variety of energy efficiency
projects, and we’re delighted to be able to highlight
some of their work for your benefit in these guides.
These red boxes contain useful
facts and figures
These green boxes link you to a
key external resource
Introduction
Up to 40% of a building’s energy use comes from lighting, but up to 75% of
the UK’s buildings have outdated lighting, which is detrimental to both energy
usage and the working environment. Huge energy savings can be found in
implementing a lighting energy efficiency project, as well as more intangible
benefits such as increased productivity and/or sales from having a more
comfortable working environment.
Lighting is one of the simplest energy efficiency projects to implement:
• It’s easy to calculate your current usage and costs
• Changing light fittings can equal guaranteed savings, making calculating
the payback period of your measures is straightforward
• Upgrading lighting for most organisations does not involve a prohibitively
large capital investment
Energy Projects Made Easy, Guide 1: Lighting
What you can do
There are two main types of lighting energy efficiency project:
• Implement lighting controls
– motion sensors
– daylight sensors
– dimming v. switching
• Implement lighting retrofits and refurbishments
Energy Projects Made Easy, Guide 1: Lighting
Benefits of lighting projects
• Lighting accounts for 40% of a building’s energy usage, making it a large
part of your electricity bills
• For a relatively small outlay you can make huge savings, often up to 50%
or more!
Energy Projects Made Easy, Guide 1: Lighting
The General Medical Council found benefits of
new LED lighting beyond just energy savings.
These included: less waste, less maintenance
required, more pleasant working environment,
reduced heat and noise, and no toxic chemicals
or UV light is produced.
• There are many advantages to
a lighting project beyond just
saving money and energy –
see the case-study box on this
page
Which type of project is right for you?
Energy Projects Made Easy, Guide 1: Lighting
Your current lighting may make
choosing a project very simple: the
British Library had aging lighting
units and fittings, which made
installing new lighting the obvious
solution. They replaced old 6’
flourescent tubes with LED tubes
that use one third of the electricity
and last over three times longer
• Every organisation’s circumstances are different, so
understanding which type of project is best for you is
vital.
• Refurbishments and retrofits differ in that the former
takes a blank canvas approach, while retrofits offer to
opportunity to make smaller and quicker savings for
smaller outlays.
As the Carbon Trust table to the left
shows, there is a huge variety of
projects just within the topic of
lighting controls. While we don’t have
the space to explore them all in
detail, be aware of the many options
that are out there!
Lighting controls
Rather than simply replacing your existing lighting, it may be worthwhile to
install motion sensors or daylight sensors onto existing fittings. For smaller
businesses, these sensors can be combined with a controller that operates
local lights, rather than making changes to your wiring.
Energy Projects Made Easy, Guide 1: Lighting
Mix and match solutions depending on
circumstances: The Building Centre
introduced motion and daylight sensor
lighting for their tenanted offices, and
timed lighting for their exhibition space.
Daylight sensors can be adjusted for each
individual light, which means making
adjustments depending on how far a light
is away from a window is easy.
Daylight and motion
sensors on existing
lighting can save up
to 25% of electricity
use
Lighting retrofits and refurbishments
• Lighting refurbishment does of course depend on what your current light fittings
are: replacing fluorescent tubes like those in the picture below is a common option
– the smallest tubes pictured, T5s, are much more efficient than their larger T12
cousins. It is also quite straightforward to convert your old fittings to take the
smaller T5 tubing
• Installing new LED lighting is another common option for spot-lit areas. They tend
to be relatively more expensive than other energy efficient options, but can last up
to 10x as long as the incandescent lamps they may be replacing.

of energy efficient lighting
Calculations
• Calculating accurate estimates of costs and use for lighting is fairly simple
because:
– Lights are either on or off
– Each light will use a set amount of electricity, detailed on the bulb itself
(usually in Watts)
• Payback periods for lighting is often very low, as the initial outlay for
lighting is fairly small
Energy Projects Made Easy, Guide 1: Lighting
Learn just how easy it is to make all
the calculations required with our
practical video demonstration
The replacement of 36W fluorescent
tubes with 15W LEDs that Phil uses as his
example in the video demonstration is
exactly what the General Medical Council
did – they saved nearly 48,000kWh in one
year!
Funding and Suppliers
Funding
• Lighting upgrades are eligible for
the Enhanced Capital Allowances
scheme

• Things to look out for include your type of fittings, wattage and existing lighting
controls
Calculations
• Use our helpful video guide to calculate the cost and energy of your current usage
• Calculate the potential savings; remember to include payback period calculations
Examine
funding
opportunities
• Check out the funding page of this guide to see what funding may be available
• Not all lighting retrofits and refurbishments are eligible for financing schemes and
tax allowance schemes – check your chosen lighting solution qualifies

Energy Efficiency Projects: lighting toolkit

  • 1. Lighting From Start to Finish: Energy Projects Made Easy
  • 2. How these guides work Our ‘Energy Projects Made Easy’ e-event is designed to provide you with tools and tips to help you implement an energy efficiency project. Each of these guides focuses on a different type of project, and each is packed with hints, tips, links and case-study information. These presentations are not designed to be detailed step by step toolkits; rather, they aim to provide guidance and inspiration for your future energy efficiency projects. Each guide follows a similar format: • an introduction to the topic • the types of improvements you can make • how to calculate the costs and benefits of your project – developing a business case for the project • tips and pointers towards suppliers and potential funding opportunities Energy Projects Made Easy, Guide 1: Lighting Blue case-study boxes are dotted throughout these guides. All are from Alliance members who have successfully implemented a variety of energy efficiency projects, and we’re delighted to be able to highlight some of their work for your benefit in these guides. These red boxes contain useful facts and figures These green boxes link you to a key external resource
  • 3. Introduction Up to 40% of a building’s energy use comes from lighting, but up to 75% of the UK’s buildings have outdated lighting, which is detrimental to both energy usage and the working environment. Huge energy savings can be found in implementing a lighting energy efficiency project, as well as more intangible benefits such as increased productivity and/or sales from having a more comfortable working environment. Lighting is one of the simplest energy efficiency projects to implement: • It’s easy to calculate your current usage and costs • Changing light fittings can equal guaranteed savings, making calculating the payback period of your measures is straightforward • Upgrading lighting for most organisations does not involve a prohibitively large capital investment Energy Projects Made Easy, Guide 1: Lighting
  • 4. What you can do There are two main types of lighting energy efficiency project: • Implement lighting controls – motion sensors – daylight sensors – dimming v. switching • Implement lighting retrofits and refurbishments Energy Projects Made Easy, Guide 1: Lighting
  • 5. Benefits of lighting projects • Lighting accounts for 40% of a building’s energy usage, making it a large part of your electricity bills • For a relatively small outlay you can make huge savings, often up to 50% or more! Energy Projects Made Easy, Guide 1: Lighting The General Medical Council found benefits of new LED lighting beyond just energy savings. These included: less waste, less maintenance required, more pleasant working environment, reduced heat and noise, and no toxic chemicals or UV light is produced. • There are many advantages to a lighting project beyond just saving money and energy – see the case-study box on this page
  • 6. Which type of project is right for you? Energy Projects Made Easy, Guide 1: Lighting Your current lighting may make choosing a project very simple: the British Library had aging lighting units and fittings, which made installing new lighting the obvious solution. They replaced old 6’ flourescent tubes with LED tubes that use one third of the electricity and last over three times longer • Every organisation’s circumstances are different, so understanding which type of project is best for you is vital. • Refurbishments and retrofits differ in that the former takes a blank canvas approach, while retrofits offer to opportunity to make smaller and quicker savings for smaller outlays. As the Carbon Trust table to the left shows, there is a huge variety of projects just within the topic of lighting controls. While we don’t have the space to explore them all in detail, be aware of the many options that are out there!
  • 7. Lighting controls Rather than simply replacing your existing lighting, it may be worthwhile to install motion sensors or daylight sensors onto existing fittings. For smaller businesses, these sensors can be combined with a controller that operates local lights, rather than making changes to your wiring. Energy Projects Made Easy, Guide 1: Lighting Mix and match solutions depending on circumstances: The Building Centre introduced motion and daylight sensor lighting for their tenanted offices, and timed lighting for their exhibition space. Daylight sensors can be adjusted for each individual light, which means making adjustments depending on how far a light is away from a window is easy. Daylight and motion sensors on existing lighting can save up to 25% of electricity use
  • 8. Lighting retrofits and refurbishments • Lighting refurbishment does of course depend on what your current light fittings are: replacing fluorescent tubes like those in the picture below is a common option – the smallest tubes pictured, T5s, are much more efficient than their larger T12 cousins. It is also quite straightforward to convert your old fittings to take the smaller T5 tubing • Installing new LED lighting is another common option for spot-lit areas. They tend to be relatively more expensive than other energy efficient options, but can last up to 10x as long as the incandescent lamps they may be replacing.

  • 9. Calculations • Calculating accurate estimates of costs and use for lighting is fairly simple because: – Lights are either on or off – Each light will use a set amount of electricity, detailed on the bulb itself (usually in Watts) • Payback periods for lighting is often very low, as the initial outlay for lighting is fairly small Energy Projects Made Easy, Guide 1: Lighting Learn just how easy it is to make all the calculations required with our practical video demonstration The replacement of 36W fluorescent tubes with 15W LEDs that Phil uses as his example in the video demonstration is exactly what the General Medical Council did – they saved nearly 48,000kWh in one year!
  • 10. Funding and Suppliers Funding • Lighting upgrades are eligible for the Enhanced Capital Allowances scheme • The Green Grants Machine website is a great directory of relevant grants and funding opportunities for energy efficiency measures • Carbon Trust and Siemens Financial are working together to provide ‘Energy Efficiency Financing’ for companies of all sizes and sectors Energy Projects Made Easy, Guide 1: Lighting Over 4500 businesses have benefited from the Carbon Trust/Siemens scheme
  • 11. Funding and Suppliers Suppliers • The Society of Light and Lighting, the Lighting Industry Federation and the Electrical Contractors Association all have accredited member directories We have a number of lighting suppliers listed in our Green Suppliers List, a comprehensive directory of green products, suppliers and services Energy Projects Made Easy, Guide 1: Lighting
  • 12. First Steps Energy Projects Made Easy, Guide 1: Lighting Conduct a walk- around • Conduct a walk-around of your premises • Things to look out for include your type of fittings, wattage and existing lighting controls Calculations • Use our helpful video guide to calculate the cost and energy of your current usage • Calculate the potential savings; remember to include payback period calculations Examine funding opportunities • Check out the funding page of this guide to see what funding may be available • Not all lighting retrofits and refurbishments are eligible for financing schemes and tax allowance schemes – check your chosen lighting solution qualifies Create a business case • Combine all of the above to create a business case for your chosen project • You can also include here the non monetary advantages of implementing a lighting energy project
