Sustainability 

In a series of 3 blog, we want to create a picture of why saving energy is important.

Today part 

Our first 2 blogs were about energy saving measures, their importance and the influence of LED lighting.

Investing in energy-saving measures costs money, but a good investment pays for itself quickly. However, due to the complexity of the matter, help is desirable.

Short payback time

Investing in LED lighting is a good investment. You save 70% energy, which means that this investment is earned back in around 2 years. A shorter payback period of 1 or 1.5 years is no exception. There are also no maintenance costs for the LED lighting installation because with 50,000 or even 80,000 burning hours, replacing lamps is a thing of the past.

By making the lighting installation smart, extra energy savings can be achieved. Depending on what you use, there are smart sensors that achieve extra savings of 20% to 30%. In addition to saving benefits, smart light control also has the advantage that operation becomes simple. Everything can be easily arranged or possibly adjusted quickly via an app on a tablet or smartphone. Your building will be more user-friendly and more comfortable.

Government role

The government believes it is important that we show our social face and take our responsibility. That is why the government promotes measures that help to save the environment. Many energy-saving measures that really contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions are included in the energy list. Measures on this list are eligible for a subsidy.

The LED lighting is on the energy list of the EIA and is therefore eligible for the Energy Investment Allowance measure. For 2019, the EIA is 45% over the invested amount.

Sports associations

There are also subsidy possibilities for sports clubs and sports foundations for amateur sports. This can even go up to 35%.

Investments in sports field lighting or lighting for changing rooms are eligible for this measure.

Other energy-saving or energy-generating measures are also eligible for this. click here for more about subsidies for sports associations or foundations

LED lighting for store & showroom

LED lighting for store & showroom Without lighting, no turnover is perhaps very black and white. But if there is a power outage somewhere, the stores close because customers cannot be helped and the safety of staff and customers cannot be guaranteed. After all, customers come to stores/showrooms that are invitingly lit, tailored to the product being sold. A showroom with cars needs to be lit differently than a supermarket or a clothing boutique. It is known that light has a big influence there, a product that is put in the spotlight gets extra attention and is, therefore, better sold and therefore more sales. But the lighting installations can do more nowadays, with the help of smart systems it is easy to dim, to deploy flexible and even to follow customers. The future of lighting is not only to control light but also information flows. But back to basics, lighting serves to make life pleasant and to function better. Enlightenment is actually a basic necessity for the e...
