An energy-efficient lighting upgrade could save you cash while helping the environment. Discover how much you could save based on your number of light fittings and estimated running hours per year.

Our lighting improvements calculator will walk you through 3 alternative lighting projects, looking at:

• initial layout costs
• potential savings
• payback period

For those who don’t require a complete refit, the calculator offers a more detailed analysis, taking into account existing fitting types, wattage, and previously installed control systems.

The data provided by this user-friendly tool includes:

• annual savings in kilowatt hours (kWh), money and carbon dioxide
• whole-life costing, to account for periodic replacement costs

The tool is in the form of an Excel spreadsheet (221 KB) that you can download and use to plan your project.

This is a free service.
