| Summary: | A full understanding of a scheme's sustainability must also include product life cycle, a cradle-to- cradle analysis of all energy and resource inputs and how to minimise the impact on the environment. Maximising resource efficiency 'designs-out' waste and pollution, keeps products and materials in use, addresses resource scarcity and regenerates natural systems. This is called the circular economy. Over the last decade there has been a laser-like focus on in-use lighting energy efficiency, driven both by economics (a return on a lighting investment delivered by reduced energy costs) and increasingly the move to low or zero carbon buildings in the face of man-made climate change. The result has been a boom in the lighting industry replacing conventionally lamped luminaires with LED versions. Energy efficiency (output efficiency) of individual luminaires is but one narrow measure of lighting's sustainability. |
