| Summary: | LED lighting results in energy savings using lighting with higher quality and
efficiency than conventional lighting technologies continue to increase in demand for
almost every lighting application, including outdoor lighting for the football field. The
metal halide floodlights implemented in the UNIMAS football field have a long payback
period due to their short lamp life. LED technology adoption offers improved luminous
efficacy and lifetime over metal halide fixtures. Hence, the objective of the research is to
investigate the application of LED lighting on the football field for energy efficiency
improvement and GHG emissions reduction. Besides, the football’s lighting system will
be designed according to European Standard requirements, and the visual comfort
provided by the LED lighting system will be analyzed. LED and HID lighting systems
are designed through DIALux simulation software according to the lighting parameters
set by European Standard. The wattage power and quantity of luminaires used in the
simulation are used to determine the annual energy saving and GHG emission reduction.
The payback period of the proposed LED lighting system is also determined, which
involved the capital investments, electrical costs, and maintenance costs. The annual
energy saving achieved by replacing the HID with the LED lighting system is reduced by
57% for class III, 56% for class II, and 60% for class I, which corresponds to GHG
emissions reduction. The payback period for installing the LED lighting system is 1.29
years for class III, 1.48 for class II, and 0.44 for class I. This study provides insightful
guidelines on the energy-efficiency improvement and visual comfort of the lighting
system in the football field by using DIALux simulation software. |
