Abstract :
This paper analyses the energy saving potential possible by changing the illumination schemes. Lighting plays a vital role in buildings, affecting visual comfort, health, well-being, and work performance. In the early days of modern lighting, incandescent and fluorescent lamps were the main focus in illumination technology, while now the lighting sector has experienced substantial transformations. Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) are bringing a lighting revolution to our cities not seen since the days of Thomas Edison. Today LEDs are among the most efficient lighting sources available and also provides additional advantages as a cool light, decreased maintenance cost, more flexibility, easier handling, extremely reliable, and have a much longer lifetime than almost all other types of lighting. However, like any new technology, they face barriers to adoption from a market unfamiliar with their benefits. The case study is a university building in Korça city in Albania. The study shows a huge energy saving potential with the replacement of all existing conventional lightings (i.e., halogen and fluorescent) scheme with the LED lighting scheme, and the payback period is calculated to be less than four years.
