Lighting and Sensor Efficiency
BackgroundTo ensure modern standards of functionality and sustainability, the Palais des Nations has progressively upgraded its building systems. Upgrading lighting through efficient fixtures and smart controls, in line with host-country standards, could have a significant additional positive impact on energy use.
ScopeThe objective is to further upgrade the lighting systems and build-in sensors to 1) reduce electricity consumption 2) increase sustainability by lowering its carbon footprint and 3) replace lighting systems that will soon be discontinued. The selection of lighting is guided by the specific standards of the host country.
Impact
By making lighting at the Palais more efficient, 500000 kWh/year in electricity could be saved.
With savings of 4% of the total electricity consumption, costs of CHF 150000/year could be avoided.
Estimated Cost
CHF 90000
– CHF 3722000
