Energy Conservation Activities in Lighting Systems Ellio Souzi Ing., Building Center of Israel, Head of Energy Conservation Consulting Unit Israel Background Israel's energy economy relies almost exclusively on imported fossil fuels, especially oil. One of the major goals of Israel's energy policy is to reduce dependence on imported fuels. Energy conservation can help reduce this dependence. It can also slow down the growth rate of installed capacity and reduce energy-related environmental effects. At the national level, promotion and activities, related to energy conservation are carried out by the Division of Energy Conservation at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure. These activities include: technical consulting and guidance education initiation of legislation and regulations providing incentives for energy conservation measures. One of the units at the Division of Energy Conservation promotes energy conservation in buildings: residential, public and industrial. The present paper describes the methods used by this unit towards reducing electricity consumption in lighting. Back to Right Light Proceedings startpage Top of page
