Non-energy benefits of energy efficiency – towards more energy-efficient industrial lighting

Industrial lighting can account for a significant energy use within an industrial company. Studies show a potential for energy-efficient lighting improvements, which is not fully realized.

Implementation of energy efficiency lighting measures can also provide non-energy benefits such as increased productivity, reduced maintenance costs and safer work environment.

Via a case study of an industrial company and a bottom-up study, this project aims to develop new knowledge about the quantified non-energy benefits, barriers and driving forces and the potential for specific energy efficiency measures for industrial lighting to facilitate decisions on energy-efficient industrial lighting.

The results are expected to enable well-informed decisions on energy-efficient industrial lighting systems and contribute to an increased implementation of resource and energy-efficient lighting systems in industry.
