“…EU legislation sets a maximum of 2.5mg of mercury from January 2013 and some producers such as Philips offer CFLs that contain just around 1mg of mercury. While this is not a risk at the individual level, when accumulated in landfill or combusted in waste disposal systems it can lead to local health concerns (Aman et al, 2013). Mercury poisoning has also emerged as an issue of concern for workers engaged in the production of CFLs in some lightly regulated Chinese factories.…”

“…A tungsten halogen light represents energy efficiency savings of up 30-50% depending on type compared to an incandescent light and a CFL up to 80% (Jacob, 2009). LFLs are also extremely efficient, lasting longer than most CFLs, and have been widely in use for some time, especially in areas demanding long operating hours such as in kitchens and industrial and public spaces (Aman et al, 2013).…”

“…A typical CFL may contain up to 5mg of mercury per bulb as a vapour inside the bulb equivalent to about 1% of the mercury content in a thermometer (Aman et al, 2013). EU legislation sets a maximum of 2.5mg of mercury from January 2013 and some producers such as Philips offer CFLs that contain just around 1mg of mercury.…”

Much academic attention has been directed at analysing energy efficiency investments through the lens of behavioural failure . These studies ha e halle ged the neoclassical framing regulation which emphasises the efficiency benefits of price-based policy, underpinned by the notion of rational individual self-mastery. The increasing use of a regulatory ban on electric lamps in many countries is one of the most recent and high p ofile flash poi ts i this diale ti of f eedo -versus-the-state i the public policy discourse. This paper interrogates this debate through a study of electric lamp diffusion in Germany. It is argued that neoclassical theory and equilibrium analysis is inadequate as a tool for policy analysis as it takes the formation of market institutions, such as existing regulations, for granted. Further still, it may be prone to encourage idealistic debates around such grand narratives which may in practice simply serve those who benefit most from the status quo. Instead we argue for an evolutionary approach which we suggest offers a more pragmatic framing tool which focuses on the formation of market institutions in light of shifting social norms and political goals -in our case, progress towards energy efficiency and environmental goals.

“…The first two solutions are widely used, while the LED solution is poorly diffused because its recent adoption. Nowadays the use of LED is often proposed to achieve an immediate reduction of the electrical installed power, both for the realization of new facilities and for the refurbishment of existing facilities [20][21][22].…”

LED Lighting for Indoor Sports Facilities: Can Its Use Be Considered as Sustainable Solution from a Techno-Economic Standpoint?

et al. 2016

Abstract:In this paper, the authors propose a techno-economic comparative analysis between different lighting solutions, using, respectively, floodlight with metal halide lamps, luminaires with fluorescent lamps and LED floodlights. The comparison is aimed to identify general criteria for assessing the techno-economic sustainability of the use of LED lighting for indoor sports facilities, since this solution is very often proposed to achieve a reduction of the electrical power for lighting. From a technical standpoint, the analysis takes into particular consideration the aspects related to the satisfaction of lighting requirements, safety and energy efficiency. From an economic standpoint the investment, the operating and the maintenance costs are evaluated. To make comparisons on an economic basis, specific indicators are used. From the obtained results it is possible to highlight as the solution that uses the LED floodlights is characterized by highest energy efficiency. This solution requires a smaller number of luminaires and it has limited maintenance costs compared to the other solutions, but it has high investment costs, which involve reasonable payback times only when the sports facility is used intensively and for competitions of high level.

“…The radiation field is usually modeled by geometric optical methods (Ward 1994). The geometric optical methods, including (forward or backward) ray tracing (Saelens et al 2013) or radiosity methods (Aman et al 2013), are frequently employed for lighting design and energy simulation within the built environment.…”
