Abstract:Nowadays, power demand is on the rise primarily driven by the ongoing development of nations, services, and daily operations. Consequently, there is a growing emphasis on reducing electricity usage to lower bills and move towards a more sustainable society with minimal energy generation emissions. To achieve this reduction in electric consumption, accurate data and intelligent systems are essential, as well as promoting energy efficiency programs focused on decreasing power demand while maintaining services and customer requirements. Under this framework, this study aims to decrease electricity consumption in a university environment by implementing LED-based high efficiency lighting solution on the campus of Albacete, which is part of the University of Castilla La Mancha (Spain). Results and power demand data are also included in the paper to compare both power demand profiles before and after the lighting transition, in terms of cost and energy saving estimations.
