Public lighting - road to energy efficiency

Abstract: Today, Europe rises towards challenge known as the "20-20-20" targets of "The 2020 climate and energy package". Public lighting is one of those energy segments where energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions can be decreased, focusing on 20% improvement in the EU's energy efficiency and 20% reduction in EU's greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels. Public lighting in Croatia consumes up to 440.314.330 kWh annually. This represents 2,8% of Croatia's total annual consumption. Environmental Protection and… Show more

“…In the year 2002 the administrator of the public lighting system of the city of Cuenca, Ecuador, the South Central Regional Electricity (CENTROSUR) a governmental company, began a program to improve the public lighting system through the geographical division of 23 areas in the urban area of Cuenca, taking into account objectives such as energy efficiency, environmental protection and traffic safety [1]. To comply with the recommendations of the international standards of road lighting, adjustments were made in the technical parameters such as: distance between posts, mounting height of the luminaires and mercury vapor luminaires were changed with high pressure sodium vapor luminaires, both fixed power and double power level.…”

“…For example, energy consumption for lighting in Italy accounts for the 12% of total electricity demand in public sector (Beccali et al 2015). In 2008, Croatia consumed 0.44 TWh for SL sector that represent 2.8% of total annual electrical consumption of the country (Zdunic 2015a). In UK road lighting and traffic signals consumed 2.5 TWh of electricity annually (2007) (Boyce et al 2009).…”
