Evaluation of LENI in a case study of a retirement home
This work aims to propose a case study for the calculation of the energy performance of lighting systems in a retirement home. The proposed methodology evaluates the energy consumption of lighting systems in the presence of daytime lighting and occupancy control strategies with the Lighting Energy Numerical Indicator (LENI). The effect of natural light, the LED sources, the external obstructions, as well as building orientation and shading systems, can influence the energy consumption of the lighting systems. The case study analysed was the “Brancaccio retirement home” located in Matera (Southern part of Italy). The results of this work refer to both annual and monthly energy consumptions, and underline how important it is to evaluate the amount of energy throughout the year in the presence of control systems, given the considerable monthly variation. Furthermore, the LED source is able to significantly reduce energy consumption compared to fluorescent lamps, and this energy saving can be further increased in the presence of control systems.
