Energy Consumption
Lighting consumes 30%-40% of the total energy
in a typical commercial building and savings can provide an
opportunity for reducing the energy load for the owners and
tenants of these buildings. Peak demand penalties for commercial
buildings can be as much as 10%-15% of the energy bill of
the average building and savings in peak consumption is of
even greater importance.
A typical commercial office building of
100,000 square feet has an average of 25% work area, 50% non-work
area, 15% of hallways and Lobbies and 10% miscellaneous areas.
The average charge for energy is $0.08 per kWh and the total
average hours of lighting operation for all areas is approximately
5211 hours..
