Lower Austria's country house: 20,000 LED lamps for less CO2!
Lower Austria's country house: 20,000 LED lamps for less CO2!
In the Lower Austria Landhaus in St. Pölten, the switch to modern LED technology is progressing to improve energy efficiency in public buildings. The conversion Initiative began in the summer of 2022 and comprises the changeover of a total of 11,000 luminous bodies, which means that around 250,000 kilowatt hours of energy can be saved annually. The annual CO2 emissions are reduced by this measure by around 54 tons, such as [oekonews.at] (https://www2.oekonews.at/niederoesterreich-endspurt-fuer- on-Led-Landhaus+2400+1226336) reports.
There are currently another 7,500 LED lamps for offices in the retrofitting, which contribute to the lights that have already been changed. These measures are intended to implement an additional energy saving of 412 megawatt hours - this corresponds to the electricity consumption of around 135 two -person households. In addition, 5,400 LEDs for areas such as garages and technology rooms are planned, so that a total of around 20,000 LED lights will be installed in the Lower Austrian country house by the end of 2025.sustainability and energy efficiency
The switch to LED technology also meets the requirements of the EU directive of Rohs, which restricts harmful substances in lamps. This change is an example of the current development towards more sustainability in the lighting sector. According to [led2work.com] (https://www.led2work.com/de/whitepaper/Led-luchtung-zu-mehr-Meit- sustainability), it is not possible to improve the company's sustainability through a simple push of a button, but requires numerous targeted measures. The lighting in the workplace plays a crucial role in reducing the CO2 footprint.
The EU has tightened the ecodesign guideline, so that from 2024 new requirements apply to lighting products that also affect energy efficiency and environmentally friendly design. LED lights offer considerable advantages in this context: they save up to 90 % energy compared to conventional lamps and have a lifespan of up to 100,000 hours, which significantly reduces the maintenance effort and the costs.
technological innovation and circular economy
The implementation of these changes is in line with the trend for upgrading existing lighting systems without complete renewal. Innovative upcycling solutions, as described on [ledcity.io] (https://ledcity.io/nachhätigigen-luchtung-trends- und- developments-in-der-Leichtechnology/), aim to reduce energy consumption through the targeted replacement of components and to keep the existing infrastructure. These approaches contribute to reducing and reducing “gray energies” that would be necessary in the production of new products.
An example of this is modern sensors that automatically adapt the lighting to the environmental conditions. The initiative in the Lower Austrian country house shows that a combination of technological innovations and sustainable practices is not only ecologically advantageous, but also economically sensible. Ultimately, the employees also benefit from optimal lighting because it increases concentration and motivation and promotes health.
