Abstract

Lighting accounts for most of a building's electricity consumption. Lighting accounts for anything between 20% and 50% of total electricity use. Lighting used efficiently and effectively can save a lot of money and energy. This study initiates and analyses energy management in a building and presents a design for an energy-efficient lighting system. A mathematical model, such as the Lumen Method, is used to determine the luminaries in artificial lighting. Although the procedure just requires a few component inputs, data from the manufacturer is required. Information about room maintenance is vital, making using the Lumen Method to collect data a challenge in this study. This report examines the Lumen Method to introduce adjustment in the calculating model. This study focused on rooms installed with tube lamps. The first section proposes an energy-efficient lighting scheme that helps the user determine the ideal number of luminaries needed in the selected location. The next part is determining luminaries' energy and power consumption for every selected location. The project's ultimate goal is to demonstrate that energy-efficient lighting may be achieved without losing aesthetic comfort or illumination quality. Replacing old lights with new ones can improve efficiency significantly.
