Lighting’s Impact on a Building’s Energy Use
- The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) reports that lighting represents 30%-50% of the energy used in most commercial and industrial facilities.
- 80% of the existing commercial buildings in the U.S. have lighting systems that are 20 years old or older.
- An average of 1.34 pounds of CO2 is released into the atmosphere per kilowatt hour of electricity used.
