We recall that the Polo Plus Programme is being developed under the Promotion Plan and Efficiency in Electricity Consumption 2013-2014, promoted by ERSE - Energy Services Regulatory Authority, in order to improve energy efficiency in Private Institutions of Social Solidarity .
The power consumption normally logs higher consumption peaks, taking into account the use of decorative lights depicting the block. To encourage a more efficient energy consumption, while ensuring that good levels of illumination, it needs to analyze the light from each of the spaces, since not all require the same brightness.
Lighting
Artificial lighting is a major factor in electric power consumption, however, there are interesting and viable opportunity for reducing energy consumption. To get to know the key technologies and types of lamps commonly available in the market can make the most appropriate choices to reduce your electricity bill.
- Incandescent bulbs: are the bulbs that have higher power consumption and those which already shorter period - about 1,000 hours - its sale has been discontinued, although there are still many in operation.
- Halogen bulbs: are characterized by a longer duration - between 2000 hours to 4000 hours - and the quality of light produced. There halogen lamps that require transformer. The type of e reduce energy losses, can reduce consumption by 30% compared to incandescent.
- Tubular fluorescent lamps: are characterized by having a higher luminous efficiency than incandescent lamps. Are lamps which consume up to 80% less electricity than incandescent bulbs and have a duration of 10,000 hours and 20,000 hours.
- CFLs: Better known for light bulbs "saving", have the technology and the characteristics of a fluorescent tube, but have reduced sizes. They have an average duration of approximately 8000 hours. Attention to places where you need a turn on and off frequently, can not be recommended its use.
- LED Lamps: Can savings up to 90% energy in replacing incandescent bulbs and although more expensive than energy-saving lamps, can provide between 50,000 hours and 80,000 hours of operation and 100% immediate light when bind .
