Özet

Energy saving in lighting has been seen as an important issue in recent years due to the increasing energy demand and global warming. The university building which is big and old construction is one of the major energy consumer and CO2 emitter, Energy efficiency systems are possible to use Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology. This study investigates the energy-saving potential and environmental effects of LED lighting applications indoor lighting. For this purpose, the study was carried out in Aksaray University Faculty of Engineering (AUFE), Aksaray, Turkey. The LED luminaires were designed instead of the Fluorescent Lamp in the AUFE building and calculated within the scope of energy efficiency and CO2, emissions. According to the analysis of the result, it was found that the initial investment cost of LED lamps is 61% higher than that of fluorescent lamps however LED luminarias to save 59% of the annual electricity consumption and 74% of the total consumption cost. Also, it was seen that LED lighting contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions by 67% per year. Based on the result of the study despite the cost of LED luminaires it is economically and environmentally friendly.
