Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The article presents an analysis of outdoor artificial lighting on the territory of a settlement (municipality).The main objective of the article is to describe the state of the existing street lighting and to propose various energysaving measures to increase the energy efficiency of outdoor artificial lighting systems, reduce the municipality's electricity costs (direct and indirect).A proposal to increase the security and operational characteristics of street lighting systems on the territory of the municipality.Energy-saving measures are considered: replacement of existing street lighting with new energy-saving ones, implementation of a control and monitoring system, and use of renewable sources for outdoor artificial lighting.Investment assessment, payback period and buyback period, saved carbon emissions, and how much the municipality's conventional energy consumption has been reduced.
