(From EC&M) Sometimes schools fail to realize potential energy savings of modernized lighting systems, and particularly advanced lighting control technologies, according to a new study from Analysis by Alliance and the DesignLights Consortium. Efficiency programs that combine lighting technology upgrades with networked lighting controls see an additional 22% lifetime energy savings on average. “We have the technology to make our lighting far more efficient, but too often we’re leaving huge energy productivity savings on the table when we don’t make the investments to upgrade,” said Alliance to Save Energy President Jason Hartke. Schools can also capitalize on potential energy efficiency savings by changing the focus from annual savings to lifetime savings, which better represent the cost savings and environmental benefits.
