ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Lighting

  • Separate the lighting controls for the window perimeter and that for the interior. Lighting at the window perimeter can be turned down or off on a sunny day.
  • Replace tungsten lamps with compact fluorescent lamps affixed with Energy Labels.
  • Replace conventional electromagnetic ballasts of fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts.
  • Replace conventional "Exit" signs with LED "Exit" signs.
  • Use open louvre type diffusers whenever acceptable
  • Use colours with a high light-reflectance value when a room is to be redecorated
  • Use occupancy sensors in area where lighting usage is not frequent
