Retail

The issue

  • Lighting accounts for 25-30% of all energy use in retail stores.
  • Too much lighting impacts on overheating, excessive cooling of the building and over spending.
  • Inadequate air conditioning devices and heating appliances are also culprits of the increasing energy consumption of retailers.
  • Significant amounts of energy are also wasted through poor house-keeping – staff leaving machinery or PC equipment on standby, forgetting to turn room lights off, and not lowering thermostat temperatures on warm days.
  • Energy consumption from lighting used for marketing purposes can be reduced by switching lights off between the hours of 12pm and 5am for example.
