Synergetic Effect between Lighting Efficiency Enhancement and Building Energy Reduction Using Alternative Thermal Operating System of Indoor LED Lighting


engineers at the korea institute of energy research and yonsei university investigated the synergetic effect between light-emitting diode (led) lighting efficiency and building energy savings in heating and cooling using an alternative thermal operating system (atos) of indoor led lighting integrated with the ventilation system of a building as an active cooling device. the heat generated from led lighting and the indoor lighting illuminance were experimentally determined. the indoor heat gains in cooling and heating periods were determined using measurement data; the annual energy savings of an office building in heating and cooling were calculated through simulation. the led lighting illuminance increased by approximately 40% and the lighting contribution for indoor heat gain was 7.8% in summer, while 69.8% in winter with the atos. consequently, the annual total energy use of the office building could be reduced by 5.9%; the energy use in cooling and heating was reduced by 18.4% and 3.3%, respectively.


the full study, which is open access, is available here at the open access journal, "energies".
