According the Department of Energy’s 2010 Buildings Energy Data Book, the average commercial building in the United States consumes $.70 of electricity per square foot in lighting costs annually. Meanwhile, 13 percent of commercial buildings in the United States are between 25,000 and 50,000 square feet. So by the math, for a typical 35,000- square foot building, lighting costs would be $24,500 annually. This annual lighting cost is for the average building, however in other applications, energy consumption for lighting is far higher. Are there any real solutions??? Just have a look at the brief research work from CBM We will look forward to hear back your thoughts Regards Ben Taddeo Executive Vice President at CBM Corp. ben@cbmbuildingservices.com

1. Are the

3. - Lighting can account for up to 50%of
your monthly electric bill
- The type of light you choose has DIRECT
IMPACT on the PRODUCTIVITY of
employee.
- It has become a trend for commercial and
residential buildings to become more energy
efficient as it saves energy and money.

4. - In 2012, New York governor Andrew Cuomo issued
an executive order directing state agencies to improve
the efficiency of their buildings by 20% by 2020.
- By 2014, Incandescent bulbs will be ILLEGAL
“Through Build Smart NY, state government can produce significant savings for
New York taxpayers and generate thousands of jobs, while reducing greenhouse
gas emissions by more than eight million metric tons, which is the same as taking
one million cars off the road for one year.”

5. Lighting Upgrades, advanced heating, ventilating and
air-conditioning systems, efficient electric motors and
automated energy management systems are just some
of the ways you can save energy and money

are turned on so they do not waste
any energy.
- Most efficient bulb on the market
right now.

bulbs and 5x longer than fluorescent
bulbs- 50,000 hours (13 and a half
years at 10 hours a day or almost 6
years continuous)
- Produces the same amount of light a
60 watt incandescent and 13 watt
fluorescent bulb in just 8 watts
- Brightest and clearest light
- Emit no heat, so will save on your
air conditioning bills as well

13. The Chart Below compares different light
sources based upon the life of the bulb and the
electrical cost at 10 cents per kWh (kilowatt
hour).
*Note: fixture costs and installation costs are
not included.

15. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates
that if 50% of the buildings in the U.S switch
to LED lighting by 2027, we could:
- Deliver savings of about $265 billion. 130+
Countries have their total annual GDP less
then this amount
- Avoid 40 new power plants.
- Reduce lighting electricity demand by 33%
in 2027.
- The Federal Energy Policy Act of 2005
established a tax deduction for energy-
efficient commercial buildings of between
$0.30 and $1.80 per square foot depending on
technology and amount of energy reduction
If 50% of
buildings in
U.S Switch to
LED lighting

16.  Diffused bulbs- Spreads light out over a wider area
 Dimmable Globe bulbs- Dimmable from 100% to 10%. Consumes 10 watts
of power while emitting the same amount of light as a 40 watt incandescent
bulb
 Track Lighting- 90% more efficient than incandescent and last 50 times
longer
 Flame tip- Designed to replace Candelabra bulbs, these draw only 3.5 watts
while producing the same amount of light as a 25-35 watt incandescent bulb.
 Tube Lights- Designed to replace fluorescent tube lighting, these are
available in 8 watt bulbs (replaces 25 watt fluorescent) and 16 watt
bulbs(replaces 40 watt fluorescent). Cheapest to install if you already have
tube lighting.
