The Museum Building Lobby has a potential to reduce 250 Kg’s of carbon emissions per year by switching from fluorescent bulbs to LED Lighting.

If this lighting was replaced, it would save an estimated €208 per annum on TCD’s Electricity costs
The overall lighting would be improved making the environment more comfortable and safer.
Lamp life could be improved by 50% which reduces the amount of service calls to E&F for bulb replacements and reduces bulb waste.

Facts:
A typical airline flight from Dublin to New York emits approx. 650 Kg’s of carbon dioxide per trip

A typical passenger vehicle in Ireland emits approx. 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year

A typical Irish home has a carbon footprint of approx. 11 tonnes, which is one of the highest in Europe

 

 

 

The School of Chemistry “SNIAM Teaching Lab” has a potential to reduce 3.2 metric tons of carbon emissions per year by switching from fluorescent bulbs to LED Lighting.

If this lighting was replaced, it would save an estimated €4033 per annum on TCD’s Electricity costs
The overall lighting would be improved making the environment more comfortable and safer.
Lamp life could be doubled reducing the amount of service calls to E&F for bulb replacements and reduces bulb waste.

Facts:
A typical airline flight from Dublin to New York emits approx. 0.65 metric tons of carbon dioxide per trip

A typical passenger vehicle in Ireland emits approx. 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year

A typical Irish home has a carbon footprint of approx. 11 tonnes, which is one of the highest in Europe

 

 

 

The School of Physics “SNIAM Building’s” has a potential to reduce 12.1 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year by switching from fluorescent bulbs to LED Lighting in the Lobby, Corridors & Halls.

If this lighting was replaced, it would save an estimated €16262 per annum on TCD’s Electricity costs
The overall lighting would be improved making the environment more comfortable and safer.

Lamp life will be improved which reduces the amount of service calls to E&F for bulb replacements and reduces bulb waste.

 

 

 

The School of Physics “UG Teaching Labs” has a potential to reduce 3.63 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year by switching from fluorescent bulbs to LED Lighting.

If this lighting was replaced, it would save an estimated €4616 per annum on TCD’s Electricity costs.
Potentially, the overall lighting would be improved by 18% making the environment more comfortable and safer.
Lamp life could be doubled reducing the amount of service calls to E&F for bulb replacements and reduces bulb waste.

Using the manufactures specifications and the amount of time the lights are on in the workshop, the estimated lifetime of the LED lights is 19 years (Ideally).

 

 

 

A School of Physics Standard Single occupancy Office has a potential to reduce 51 Kg’s of carbon dioxide per year by switching from fluorescent bulbs to LED Lighting.

If this lighting was replaced, it would save an estimated €64 per annum on TCD’s Electricity costs.
The overall lighting would be improved making the environment more comfortable and safer.
Lamp life could be doubled reducing the amount of service calls to E&F for bulb replacements and reduces bulb waste.
