Division 3 DETERMINATION OF THE SAVINGS IN ELECTRIC POWER CONSUMPTION DUE TO THE USE OF LEDS
United Kingdom
The savings in electric power consumption due to the LEDs are to be determined by comparing the electric power consumption of the baseline technology with that of the LEDs for each of the relevant lighting functions.
The total savings resulting from the comparison are to be multiplied by a usage factor representing the time during which the LEDs are fully activated.
The values specified in the table are to be applied for the electric power consumption of the base line technology and for the usage factors.
