GreenLight Brochure with case studies from EU New

GreenLight
THE EUROPEAN GREENLIGHT PROGRAMME
An initiative promoted by the European Commission
Climate change is one of the main challenges our society will face in
the coming years. The Kyoto commitment for the reduction of Green
House Gas emissions cannot be fulfilled without the efforts of all
Europeans, in particular, public and private organisations in all fields
of our economy.
Lighting has a substantial impact on the environment, accounting
for up to 40% of electricity used in non-residential buildings. Major
energy savings can be achieved. Examples from the field have
shown that between 30% and 50% of electricity used for lighting
could be saved by investing in energy-efficient lighting systems.
In most cases, these investments are not only profitable but they also
maintain or improve lighting quality.
GreenLight is a voluntary European programme where private and
public organisations commit* to upgrading their existing lighting
and to designing new installations, adopting energy-efficient lighting measures when:
– The cost of these measures is repaid by the associated savings and
– lighting quality is maintained or improved.
*see commitment details at the end of the brochure.
In October 2008, there were more than 500 Partners in the Programme. So far the following organisations have joined the GreenLight
programme (Partners from Central and Eastern Europe are in bold):

Prague Marriott Hotel, Czech Republic
The Prague Marriott Hotel management has decided to make a committed effort to reduce its energy consumption and has selected its
interior lighting system as the first step. A hotel building with 293
rooms and a conference facility needs lighting for both the safe
orientation of its clients and employees and at the same time to
“emphasise” the proper atmosphere of comfort and convenience.
The revision of the light sources used for these purposes ensures that
these aims are achieved and at the same time significantly lowers
operating costs and leads to easier maintenance because all the
newly selected light sources have a longer life.
The selected light sources mainly included a wider range of compact
fluorescent light bulbs in corridors and rooms (70% more efficient
than incandescent lights, 15 times longer life), LED light sources in
the corridors (90% more efficient than halogen reflectors, 10 times
longer life), and E27 halogen light bulbs in the ceilings of the main
halls (30% more efficient than incandescent light bulbs, 2 times longer life).
– Lighting electricity savings: 404 MWh/year
– Reduction of electricity used in the areas covered: 58%
– CO2 emission savings: 472 tons / year
The Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic
The Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic joined the
GreenLight Programme in 2008. A highly efficient and most up-todate system of lighting was installed in the Minister’s office and the
meeting room. It is not only linked to occupancy and the movement
of people in the room, but also to the light entering from outside.
It also allows the colour of the light to be changed. The rest of the
building (offices, corridors, as well as the entrance) are equipped
with compact and linear fluorescent light bulbs.
Compared to using classic incandescent lighting, the total electricity
consumption in the Ministerial building is almost 70% lower.
“Energy savings are an important, hidden source of energy throughout
Europe, and this is twice as much true in the case of the Czech Republic.”
RNDr. Martin Bursík
Minister of the Environment
“For many years the Ministry has been trying to show its exemplary role by
lowering its impact on the environment. (…) Efficient lighting was a logical
step in this case. We are very pleased that we can now prove our success
by the GreenLight certificate.”
Miroslav Jandura
Director of the Office of the Ministry
Prague Energy Utility, Czech Republic
The Prague energy utility (PRE) joined the GreenLight Programme
as a Partner, as well as an Endorser. PRE is the first energy distribution company in the Czech Republic to join the programme. The
retrofitting took place in five buildings with overall electrical energy
savings of 1,046 kWh per year, i.e. approximately 31%. Translated
into CO2 emissions this is a saving of 1,224 t of CO2 a year. PRE
also launched a special internal activity, promoting the GreenLight
Programme to the corporate clients of the energy utility so that they
can take part in the programme as well.
“Joining the GreenLight Programme was an effective solution. By switching
to effective lighting in our buildings, we managed not only to lower our
operating costs and increase the quality of lighting, but also to improve the
working conditions of our employees. (…) Joining the GreenLight Programme
fits into our long-term efforts to improve the environment.”
Petr Holubec
Spokesperson of the PRE
The Smolyan Municipality, Bulgaria
The Smolyan Municipality is situated in the south central part of
Bulgaria, in the heart of the Rhodopi Mountains. The municipality
joined the Green Light Programme in 2007 with an ongoing project
for the energy efficient reconstruction of the in-house lighting systems
in municipal school buildings, kindergartens, student hostels and
cultural institutions. The actual ESM started in 2006 and currently, it
has been carried out in 39 buildings.
The proposed energy saving measures are expected to contribute
to the alignment of the street lighting in the Smolyan Municipality
to the standard requirements. As a result of implementing the
energy efficiency measures, with investment costs of 807,890 EUR,
almost a double reduction of the operating costs are expected over
a payback period of 4.9 years. The potential for reducing electricity
consumption has been calculated as 1,447 737 kWh, which in
monetary terms is approximately 165,580 EUR/year with the
environmental equivalent of 2,966 t avoided CO2 emissions.
The Municipality of the City of Dobrich, Bulgaria
The City of Dobrich started their energy efficiency activities in 2000
with a detailed audit of the current state of the entire street lighting
system. In 2001 a project for the energy efficient reconstruction and
modernization of the street lighting system was developed. The aim
of the project was to replace the mercury bulbs with high pressure
sodium lamps and compact fluorescent lamps. Upgrading the street
lighting control was also envisaged, as well as installing two-tariff
electric meters.
In the period 2003–2005 the municipality carried out the project
Energy Efficient Reconstruction of the Street Lighting System. In parallel, in 2003–2007 the municipality designed and constructed new
street lighting for the city districts, in which it was not available until
then, as well as for the industrial zones.
After the measures carried out the following achieved results were reported:
– An illumination level of 95%.
–Energy savings of 2,819,640 kWh/year and savings of
91,400 EUR/year.
–Introduction of a centralized control street lighting system is envisaged.
–The total number of new energy efficient lamps put into operation is
6,450.
“TOMO” Business Centre, Latvia
“TOMO” business centre is a newly built business complex located in Riga that took into account efficient technologies even at the
first stage of designing the building. The complex was developed
as an “A class” business centre not only in terms of infrastructure
and installations, but also in terms of energy consumption. Heating
and electricity is supplied from a local cogeneration station and the
most modern and efficient elements and technologies are used for
building, installations, and service provision. Lighting systems were
chosen according to environmental and energy efficiency criteria in
order to develop the most efficient business centre and to enter the
market with affordable, efficient and economic businesses premises
for rent and sale.
The measures resulted in the following savings:
–Energy: 32.7 MWh/year
–Financial: approximately 3,000 euro per year
–CO2: approximately 12 tons per year

The Riga Graduate School of Law, Latvia
Situated in the beautiful Art Nouveau district, the Riga Graduate
School of Law (RGSL) is a top tier law school in the Baltic region and
an autonomous unit within the University of Latvia. Founded in 1998
through an international agreement between Sweden, Latvia and
the Soros Foundation, the Riga Graduate School of Law provides
high quality post graduate degree programmes in European and
International Law, Law and Finance and in Legal Linguistics, all
taught exclusively in English.
RGSL is participating in the Green Light project as a Partner that has
recently installed efficient lighting systems in classrooms and offices
and only a few small improvements are needed which it is planned
to carry out in the near future.
However, these considerably small improvements could save RGSL
up to 14.9MWh per year, which amounts to 5.45 tons of CO2 per
annum.

Kaunas City, Lithuania
Kaunas with nearly 400 thousand inhabitants is the second city
(after the capital Vilnius) in the country. Kaunas City Municipality
joined the GreenLight Programme in 2007 and is one of the winners
of the GreenLight Awards 2008. The municipality carried out the
“Modernization of the Street Lighting of Kaunas City” project with
the following reported benefits:
Energy and economic
–Reduced total capacity of the installed lighting system from 5,604kW to
3,014kW (54%).
–Reduced capacity of illuminators from 240 W to 130 W (54% for every
illuminator).
–Reduced annual electricity consumption for lighting from 20,969 kWh to
11,778 kWh (56%).
–Significant increase in the quality of the lighting.
–Annual expenses for street lighting reduced by 56%.
Environmental, social, other benefits
–Modernising Kaunas City street lighting significantly reduced the installed
capacity of illuminators, reduced electricity consumption, and reduced

Kaunas International Airport, Lithuania
Kaunas International Airport joined the GreenLight Programme in
2008. A new, modern high intensity ground lighting system was
installed at the Airport. The system makes landing in complicated
meteorological conditions safe, which is very important.
The supplied and installed high intensity lights ensure not only safe
landings, but also economic and efficient use of electric power during
safe aircraft landings and take offs. Compared to the old system, the
new high intensity system concentrates more power to the focused
light, which makes it easier for the pilots of landing aircraft to see.
Installing this system increased the safety of flights and power energy is used more efficiently. The reported benefits are as follows:
Energy and economic:
The new ground lighting system uses electric power more economically.
Refurbishing the lighting system will reduce annual expenses for airport
ground lighting by 22%, with a payback period of just over 6 years.
Social and others:
–After installing the new ground lighting system airlines will be more interested in Kaunas International Airport and this will improve flight connections with other airports.
–After modernizing the Airport ground lighting system the operation of the
airport has improved and provides a better service.
City of Warsaw – Urząd Miasta Stołecznego Warszawy, Poland
Warsaw, Poland’s capital is one of the fastest growing cities in
Europe. It was one of the first municipalities to join the European
GreenLight Program in Poland. The modernization of the street
lighting will improve the image of the area and beautify the city.
There are approximately 100,000 street light points and more than
1,750 lighting cabinets containing electric meters within the 18
districts of Warsaw. The total power of the installed lighting is over
20 MW and the annual consumption is approximately 90 GWh.
The outdated outdoor lighting installations use more energy as well
as costing more. Energy consumption is being reduced by using new
technologies and investments, and at the same time the historical
character of certain areas of Warsaw is maintained. Al. Ujazdowskie
Street is a good example of this kind of lighting renovation.
–Number of street light points (SLP) before modernization: 159
–Number of SLP after modernization: 215
–Lighting electricity savings: 155,210 kWh/year
–Reduction of electricity use covered: 54.6%
–Total running costs savings: 13,146 Euro/year
Oświetlenie Uliczne i Drogowe Sp. z o.o, City of Kalisz, Poland
Oświetlenie Uliczne i Drogowe Sp. z o.o., was the first Polish company to implement an intelligent street lighting system – telemanagement, in the city of Kalisz.
Street lighting in Europe today is a mix of technologies that have
been available on the market for the last 30–40 years.
Telemanagement of outdoor lighting provides a significant opportunity to save energy and decrease the environmental impact of outdoor lighting. A telemanagement system enables the lighting system
to automatically react to external parameters such as traffic density,
remaining daylight level, road constructions, accidents or weather
conditions.
– Number of street light points before modernization: 159
– Number of street light points after modernization: 79
– Lighting electricity savings: 105,000 kWh/year
– Reduction of electricity use covered: 48.4 %
– Total running costs savings: 8,900 Euro/year
Metrorex, s.a., Romania
The subway transport system of Bucharest has been in operation
since 1979. Now the subway is being extended and existing installations are being modernized. Bearing in mind the permanent use
of the lighting system, this is an important electricity consumer. The
GreenLight plaque has been placed in every metro station in the city
of Bucharest.
A total of 93,472 lamps of different types have been replaced
with 82,300 low consumption lamps. This has reduced the total
installed power for lighting by 731,162 kW (23.3%), and saves
5,100,000 kWh/year of energy. The pay back period related to
the value of energy saving is 2 years.

– Energy savings: 4,272,337 kWh/year
Predilnica Litija, Slovenia
Predilnica Litija, a technical textile manufacturing company has
become the first Slovenian GreenLight Partner. In order to reduce
electricity costs and improve lighting conditions they decided to
completely renovate the existing lighting system. The renovation
covered a surface area of 19,700 m2, where all upgrades consisted of
new 16 mm diameter fluorescent tubes (T5) equipped with electronic
ballasts instead of 26 mm tubes (T8) with magnetic ballasts.
Beside improved visual conditions, the company has reported the
following energy savings:
– Lighting electricity savings: 1,597,000 kWh/year
– Reduction of electricity use in the areas covered: 37%
– Investment payback time: 3 years
Acroni Jesenice – Slovenia
The Slovenian steel manufacturing company, Acroni Jesenice
upgraded their lighting systems through a TPF project (Third Party
Financing) provided by the ESCO company EL-TEC Mulej, Bled.
By substituting new metal-halide luminaires equipped with low-loss
magnetic ballast for high-pressure mercury luminaries they achieved
significantly better visual conditions (from 30–100 lux to 300–500
lux, depending on the area covered), and the following energy
savings:
– Lighting electricity savings: 10,337,000 kWh/year
– Reduction of electricity use in the areas covered: 54%
