LED street lighting can generate savings as high as 85 percent
The Climate Group, in association with Philips, launched a global ‘consultation process’ with its network of member cities, states and regions to identify and address barriers to the adoption of low carbon LED (light-emitting diode) street lighting in cities.
The collaborative consultation will focus on identifying practical solutions and addressing specific geographical challenges to LED adoption. It will address topics such as the benefits of LEDs, new approaches to LED financing, risk allocation, intelligent and smart lighting, future-proofing, standards, quality thresholds, and related socio-economic benefits from LED lighting.
In its 2012 report, “Lighting the Clean Revolution: The rise of LEDs and what it means for cities”, The Climate Group, supported by Philips, reported that following a global trial across 12 cities, LED street lighting could generate energy savings as high as 85%, making a significant impact in the 19% of global energy consumed by lighting.
