ENERGY EFFICIENCY THROUGH LIGHTING MODERNIZATION

In addition to manufacturing luminaires and designing lighting for new facilities, PXF Lighting also provides energy audits and comprehensive consulting services during lighting modernization. Modern LED luminaires manufactured by PXF Lighting are the basis for reducing the operating costs of facilities. A wide range of products makes it possible to modernize the lighting of large and small rooms of various purposes: from offices, through industrial and medical zones, to public facilities.

LOWER ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Replacing the lighting system results in a reduction of energy demand. A 1075m² office will serve as an example. 357 T5 fluorescent fixtures were replaced with 257 LED fixtures, reducing their number by nearly 30%. The power of the system dropped by 2.5 times, and the annual energy savings are more than 50 kWh, a 59% reduction in consumption. The results presented here are for the least complicated retrofit process. By expanding the lighting design to include a control system, energy consumption in this office can be reduced by as much as 73%. (Note: the presented calculation was carried out based on specific conditions: the client's requirements and the use of the illuminated area. A separate lighting audit should be conducted for each facility, and savings values may vary. Depending on the level of modernization, complexity of the control system, use, etc., lighting modernization can generate savings in the range of 45% - 85%).

TANGIBLE BENEFITS, I.E. LOWER ELECTRICITY BILLS

The modernization project generated financial savings of tens of thousands of zlotys per year. Convenience, ease of use and maintenance-free operation are other arguments for implementing lighting changes.

RISING ENERGY PRICES - AN ARGUMENT FOR MODERNIZING LIGHTING

During the pandemic, the average quarterly price of electricity increased 2.5 times (comparison 3Q2019 vs 3Q2022). Thus, the burden on industrial end-users has doubled, and is projected to continue to grow. A survey conducted in mid-2021 shows that 60% of the companies surveyed are pursuing a sustainability program by investing in technology. According to them, adopting sustainability initiatives provides practical benefits, for example: reduced energy consumption. As many as 35% undertook new investment activities in Q1 and Q2 of 2021. Unfavorable changes in energy prices in 2022 increased the percentage of new technology initiatives.

QUICK RETURN ON INVESTMENT

A twofold increase in energy prices (Q3 2022 y/y) results in lowering electricity bills by reducing consumption, which translates into a shorter payback period for investments in lighting upgrades. Further price increase forecasts encourage generating savings in this way. The analysis shows that the investment will pay for itself after 27 months, assuming a constant energy price of 0.615zl/kWh. In comparison, this period is shortened by 9 months compared to the analysis using energy costs (0.472zl/kWh) from earlier in Q1 2022. Based on energy price forecasts for Q1 2023, the estimated payback period is shortened by another 8 months to 19 months.

REDUCTION OF CO2 EMISSIONS

The generation of electricity and its subsequent use are associated with greenhouse gas emissions. Retrofitting lighting allows for a reduction in CO² emissions. In the case under consideration, during the first year of operation of an office equipped with PXF Lighting luminaires, carbon dioxide emissions will be lower by more than 37 tons.

MODERN LIGHTING CONTROL

PXF Lighting offers luminaires that support the HCL concept - human-centered lighting. Our products use Tunable White technology - a variable color temperature that will allow artificial lighting to adapt to the daily rhythm of humans. The luminaires can work with facility automation systems or be part of a Building Management System as part of so-called intelligent buildings.
