Perform a lighting energy audit for your classroom. First, define the spacecharacteristics by recording the length, width, and the height of your classroom. Next, obtain information about the type of lighting system, the number of light sources, and their controls. Also, obtain information aboutthe occupancy profile—that is, the number of people every hour using the classroom. Calculate the watts/m2 for the classroom as a function of time. Write a brief report to your instructor discussing your findings. Suggestways the lighting energy consumption for your classroom may be improved.
There are a number of ways that you can reduce the energy waste associated with lighting systems. One way is to make use of smart controllers and use devices such as lighting-dimmer controls, lighting-motionsensor controls, lighting-occupancy controls, lighting-photosensor controls, and lightingtimercontrols. Write a brief report describing how these various types of lighting controllers work and give examples of their usage.
