Lighting Technologies Applications Energy Consumption MAE 406 / 589 John Rees, PE, CEM Eric Soderberg, PE, CEM October 15, 2013 Electricity Billing • Commercial and Industrial electric bills can be difficult to understand. Difference Between Power and Energy • Electricity is like water – it flows like water in a pipe. • Demand – How fast is the Flow Rate (Instantaneous). • Energy – How many gallons over a period of time. 3 Electricity - Definitions • Demand - amount of electrical energy that is being consumed at a given time (instantaneous, kW). • Electrical Energy - total electricity used over a period of time (kWh). • Electrical Energy (kWh) = Demand (kW) * Operating Hours • Example: 100 watt lamp burning for 10 hours = 1000 watt-hours = 1 kWh 4 Electricity - Demand Electricity Demand - October 1 to 4 (kilowatts) Peaks are about 2:30 pm. Valleys are about 2:30 am. 50 40 30 20 6:30 PM 11:00… 3:30 AM 8:00 PM 12:30… 5:00 AM 9:30 PM 2:00 PM 6:30 AM 11:00… 3:30 PM 0 8:00 AM 10 12:30… Electricity Demand (kW) 60 5 Electricity - Energy Electricity Energy - October 1 to 4 (kilowatt-hours) Peaks are about 2:30 pm. Valleys are about 2:30 am. 25 20 15 10 5 6:30 PM 11:00 AM 3:30 AM 8:00 PM 12:30 PM 5:00 AM 9:30 PM 2:00 PM 6:30 AM 11:00 PM 3:30 PM 8:00 AM 0 12:30 AM Electricity Demand (kWh) 30 6 Utility Electrical Charges • Utility Rates – Utilities have a variety of rates • • • • – – • Residential Commercial Small Business Large Business Can be based on Electrical Energy only (residential and small commercial). Can be based on a combination of Demand and Energy. Ratchet Charge – Demand charge may be based on high demand from the previous 12 months (not the current month). • It’s possible to be on the “wrong” rate. – Check with your electric utility representative. 7 Peak Hours • The demand charge is based on the maximum demand set over the month during peak hours. • Peak hours are the hours set by the utility when the total demand from all customers puts the most load on the utility’s power generating capacity. – Varies from summer to winter. 8 Comparing KWh Usage to KW Demand 9 Understanding Your Electrical Bill Knowing how you are being charged for electricity helps: •Know how much various pieces of equipment cost to operate. •Determine when electrical equipment can be run during offpeak hours. •Determine how to limit on-peak demand.

Targeted Illumination Levels • Targeted illumination level is determined by: • Tasks being performed (detail, contrast, size). • Ages of the occupants. • Importance of speed and accuracy. • Important not to Underlight or Overlight. Recommended Illumination Levels Activity Illumination Foot-candles Offices: Average Reading and Writing 50-75 Offices: Hallways 10-20 Offices: Rooms with Computers 20-50 Auditoriums / Assembly Places 15-30 Hospitals: General Areas 10-15 Labs / Treatment areas 50-100 Libraries 30-100 Schools 30-150 Quality of Illumination • Quality of illumination may affect worker productivity. • Quality is affected by: – Glare. Too bright. – Uniformity of illumination. – Color rendition. Ability to see colors properly. • Scale is 0 to 100 (100 is best) – Color Temperature. Warm to Cool. • Measured in degrees kelvin. 3000 is warm (yellowish); 5000 is cool or “daylight”. Color Rendering Index (CRI) A relative scale indicating how perceived colors illuminated by the light source match actual colors. The higher the number the less color distortion from the reference source. Daylight = 100. 85 -100 CRI = Excellent color rendition 75 - 85 CRI = Very Good color rendition 65 - 75 CRI = Good color rendition 55 - 65 CRI = Fair color rendition 0 – 55 CRI = Poor color rendition Color Temperature (K˚) A measure of the “warmth” or “coolness” of a light source. ≤ 3200K = “warm” or red side of spectrum ≥ 4000K = “cool” or blue side of spectrum 3500K = “neutral” 5000K = “Daylight” North Sky - 8500K Color Temperature Scale Daylight Fluo - 6500K Cool White - 4100K Halogen – 3100K Warm White - 3000K Incandescent – 2700K HPS - 2100K 25 Color Rendition cool source is used warm light source is neutral light source is enhancing blues and used, enhancing reds used greens and oranges Color rendering, expressed as a rating on the Color Rendering Index (CRI), from 0-100, describes how a light source makes the color of an object appear to human eyes and how well subtle variations in color shades are revealed.

Ballast Factor DEFINITION: The fraction of rated lamp lumens produced by a specific lamp-ballast combination APPLICATIONS High Ballast Factor (1.00-1.30) Increases output AND energy consumption Typical Ballast Factor Comparable light output in (0.85-0.95) one-to-one replacement Low Ballast Factor (0.47-0.83) Decreases light output AND energy consumption Maximize energy savings by selecting electronic ballasts with ballast factor that provides target illuminance. Ballast Circuit Types • Instant Start Ballast – starts lamp instantly with higher starting voltage. Efficient but may shorten lamp life. • Rapid Start – delay of about 0.5 seconds to start; supplies starting current to heat the filament prior to starting and continues during operation. Uses 2 to 4 watts more than an instant start ballast. • Programmed Rapid Start - delay of about 0.5 seconds to start; starting current heats the filament prior to starting, then cuts off during operation. Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) • Fluorescent lamp that is small in size (~2 in. diameter, 3 to 5 in. in length). • Developed as replacement for incandescent lamps. • Two Main Types – Ballast-integrated. – Ballast non-integrated (allows only lamp to be replaced).

Induction Lighting Type of fluorescent lamp – uses radio waves rather than arc to excite phosphor coating on lamp to glow Advantages: • QL and Icetron: 60,000 to 100,000 hours – if used 12 hours each day will last 20 years! • Good for hard to maintain locations Disadvantages: • Large light source – difficult to control beam of light making it inefficient for delivered and task lumens • Expensive - $200+ adder to HID • No industry standards for Induction Induction Applications • Applications where maintenance is expensive and/or difficult • 24 hour a day.7 days a week applications • Bridges • Low Bay Industrial • Select Outdoor Lighting Applications • Long burning hour applications ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS Hazardous Waste Disposal Hazardous Waste Lamps will now be regulated under the Federal Universal Waste Rule which was first developed to regulate the disposal of other widely generated wastes that contain toxic materials, such as batteries and pesticides State Rule supersedes Federal Rule Under current federal law, mercury-containing lamps (fluorescent, HID) may be hazardous waste The rule applies only to lamps that fail the TCLP (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure) test which is used to determine if a waste is hazardous. Mercury Content of Lamps TYPICAL MERCURY CONTENT OF VARIOUS LAMPS 250 watt Metal Halide lamp 250 watt High Pressure Sodium lamp Pre 1988 T12 Fluorescent Post 1988 T12 Fluorescent Typical T8 Fluorescent Tube Typical Compact Fluorescent (CFL) 38 mg 15 mg 45 mg 12 mg 4-5 mg 4-5 mg 4-5 mg is less mercury than a coal fired power plant will emit while producing the additional energy to power an equivalent incandescent lamp. Lamps containing mercury that fail the TCLP test must be recycled! EPA encourages responsible disposal practices to limit the release of mercury into the environment. EPA encourages lamp recycling LIGHTING ECONOMICS $$ • Simple Payback • Return on Investment (ROI) • Internal Rate of Return (IRR) • Net Present Value (NPV) Simple Payback Simple Payback is the number of years it takes an energy saving measure to repay the initial investment for the new system. It does not account for the time value of money and it also does not consider the savings that occur after the payback point. Most private companies require a simple payback of 2 years or less. For energy saving measures, they will sometimes accept a 3 to 5 year payback. Government agencies can accept longer paybacks than private companies. SIMPLE PAYBACK = TOTAL PROJECT COST / ANNUAL SAVINGS Return on Investment - ROI ROI is the inverse of Simple Payback and has all of the qualifiers of a simple payback. It does not account for the time value of money and also it does not consider the savings that occur after the payback point. It is sometimes called Rate of Return. ROI is expressed as a percentage. It is often compared to other investment yields. Net Present Value ($) NPV adjusts for the time value of money by discounting incremental future cash flows to the present time using a discount rate appropriate to those cash flows. NPV ($) is a profitability measure and can be used to rank one lighting alternative over another. The higher the $ profit NPV, the better the alternative. The NPV, to be appropriately used, should be calculated by applying the after tax cost of capital to the after tax cash flows. Example: Simple Payback & ROI A lighting upgrade is estimated to save $5,000 a year and cost $25,000. What are the simple payback and return on investment (ROI)? Simple payback = Cost / Annual Savings = $25,000 / $5,000 = 5 years ROI = 1 / Simple Payback = 1/5 = 20% Example: Energy & Cost Savings Existing lighting in the Method Road Greenhouse consists of 10 fixtures containing ten 4’, 4 lamp T12 fixtures that consume 154 watts of electrical power. At $0.09/kWh, what is the annual cost of operating these fixtures 2,000 hours a year? 10 x 154 watts x 2,000 hours/1,000 = 3,080 kWh 3,080 x $0.09 = $2,772 per year These fixtures are replaced by fixtures containing 25 watt T8 lamps with low BF ballasts which only consume 89 watts per fixture. What is the annual cost of operation? 10 x 89 watts x 2,000 hours/1,000 = 1,780 kWh 1,780 x $0.09 = $1,602 per year Cost savings = $1,170 per year Other Benefits from Energy Efficient Lighting Retrofit • Improved Color Rendition/Visibility in Space • Longer Lamp Life •Less Maintenance (Normally a result of longer lamp life) • Adjust to target light levels (IES) • Improved Controls • HVAC Savings – Typically 5% above lighting savings for cooled spaces • Tax Incentives – Generally tax deductions • Incentive from Utility Rebates – Both Progress & Duke have programs HVAC Savings from a Lighting Retrofit • 1 watt saved = 3,412 BTUs of heat removed • Heat removed with Efficient Lighting is: • A savings when cooling (A/C is on) • In the heating season, lighting assists the HVAC. • Rules of Thumb to count HVAC savings • Unitary Equipment: Lighting Savings x .1 to .2 • Chiller Equipment: Lighting Savings x .05 to .1 • Example: Lighting Savings = $2,000.00 $2,000 x .1 = $200 savings from Unitary HVAC Change from Old to New and Save Energy and $$ OLD TECHNOLOGY => NEW TECHNOLOGY • T12 Fluorescent – 4’ and 8’ Systems In the US today, 60% are still T12. • T8, T5 and T5HO Fluorescent Systems • Magnetic Ballasts • Electronic Ballasts • Incandescent • Halogen IR, MH & LED • Halogen • Metal Halide and LED • Probe Start Metal Halide and Mercury Vapor • Pulse Start and Ceramic Metal Halide • Neon •LED • Manual Controls •Automatic Controls, Bi-Level and Continuous Dimming Systems Ballast Factor DEFINITION: The fraction of rated lamp lumens produced by a specific lamp-ballast combination APPLICATIONS: High Ballast Factor (1.00-1.30) Increases output AND energy consumption Typical Ballast Factor (0.85-0.95) Comparable light output in one-to-one replacement Low Ballast Factor (0.47-0.83) Decreases light output AND energy consumption Maximize energy savings by selecting electronic ballasts with ballast factor that provides target illuminance.

T5 and T5HO Systems •Disadvantages • T5 and T5HO lamp life is less than T8s • The bulb wall surface of the T5 is very bright. Care must be exercised in using T5 lamp in direct lighting applications. • Costs higher than T8 – cost can be balanced by a reduction in the number of luminaries used. • Lead times may be longer – T5s require compete fixture replacement. • In cooler temperatures or high CFM air distribution the T5 or T5HO may not perform well (peak light output at 95 °F). • May not work well with occupancy sensors due to slow lumen run-up with cold start. T5HO vs. T8 Application Rules of Thumb • ≤ 20’ – use T8 • ≥ 20’ – use T5HO • 18’ to 25’ – either T8 or T5HO can be used successfully • Over 50 types of 4’ T8 lamps available • Two T5 lamps: 28w T5 and 54w T5HO • To get T5HO performance out of T8 lamps, use highlumen/high performance T8 lamps T5HO vs. T8 for Warehouse Aisles Rule of Thumb •In general for warehouse aisles, T5HO will perform better in non-airconditioned spaces and T8 performs better in air-conditioned spaces. •Reason: Ambient temperature of T5HO rating for peak performance is 35 degrees C (95F) and T8 is rated at 25C (77F).

Haran, PE, LEED, AP, IES An Increase in Quality Can Improve Worker Productivity • 1% increase in productivity is about equal to one sick day • Improve employee satisfaction and reduce turnover/replacement expenses for new employees. • Improves Company bottom line • Indirect Lighting is preferred by many today. What’s the Most Efficient Light Source? Daylighting Advantages Excellent light source for almost all interior spaces – offices, homes, retail, schools and more; People prefer it! Field research indicates that with daylighting: • Learning is enhanced • Retail sales increase (Wal-Mart study) • Employee satisfaction increases Energy Savings is realized when controls are used Task Lighting Task Lighting • Task lighting can reduce the need for overhead ambient light. • Useful where tasks require more light, e.g., painting, inspection, better color rendition. Group Relamping • Changing out all the lamps in an area at one time at regular intervals. – At about 90% of lamp rated life • Saves labor. • Maintains light levels. • Can be scheduled during off-hours. Conducting a Lighting Survey Why Conduct a Lighting Survey? – to identify improvement opportunities. It is a systematic exam and appraisal of building lighting systems. Step 1 – Establish a base line of performance Step 2 – Identify opportunities for improvement Step 3 – Calculate savings and potential payback The quality of the information collected in the survey has a direct impact on steps 2 and 3 Instruments • Top: Light Meter – Measures lumens (ft.candles). • Bottom: Ballast Discriminator – Indicates whether a fixture has a electronic or electromagmetic ballast. Suggestions for a Lighting Survey •Ask the right questions to meet the client’s goals •Gather ALL the right information •Don’t assume – check the existing equipment to obtain accurate information •Determine Economic Calculations Required •Is a test installation needed? •Lighting Fixtures •Controls •Consider all drivers to reduce the payback •Use a pre-printed form or spreadsheet template Information and Data to Collect in a Lighting Survey • Floor plan of the building/space with dimensions if available • Electric bills for 1 year to determine average cost per kWh over the year • Tasks being performed in each area – Talk to occupants in the area • Type (fixture input wattage and lamps/ballasts type), quantity, mounting height, and control of fixtures in each space • Lighting operating hours per year and footcandle levels for each space •Circuit Voltage • Exit signs (light source) • Talk with building occupants about operating practices and satisfaction with the level and quality of lighting • Talk with maintenance staff about equipment condition and any recurring problems. Lighting Survey Results • Baseline: current lighting energy use (typical lighting energy = 0.5 to 1.5 watts per sq. ft.) • Recommendations for Lighting Upgrades. • Estimated Costs with Incentives/Rebates. • Energy and Cost Savings. Bottom Line: Payback Period.
