Including the closely related term carbon saving.
… opportunity for ELDC to lock in significant and permanent carbon savings, therefore, ensuring that the building is designed to be as low carbon as possible is vitally important in ELDC’s journey towards net-zero. Any increase in capital costs as a result of lower carbon design will be recouped in lifetime operational costs and avoided emissions. Achieving optimal low/zero carbon performance in a new…
… will also be possible through implementing “control” savings such as dimming and/or trimming. Beyond energy and carbon savings, ELDC would also benefit from reduced maintenance and lamp replacement lifecycle costs thanks to the significant additional burn hours that LED alternatives bring over traditional lighting. Illustrative energy and cost savings for full LED upgrades are detailed below…
