PURPOSE Going green is a new concept as public and individuals begin to switch to a more energy efficient, natural lifestyle

. o achieve the goal of being more energy efficient, we put our eyes on the lighting system of the !!!.. University campus. Replacing ordinary bulbs with more efficient "E# tubes will save a significant amount of energy. $s one of the largest multifunctional buildings on campus, the !!!.. has more than %&',''' gross s(uare feet lit by fluorescent tubes. Our pro)ect aims to reduce the lighting power consumption by replacing the e*isting bulbs with new "E# energy saving bulbs. +omparing with the incandescent light bulbs and +," bulbs, "E# light bulbs have two shining characteristics that ma-e them more suitable. low driven current and low energy consumption. /n other words, "E# bulbs consume much less energy than ordinary bulbs and have 0 times longer lifetime. +onsidering the concept of Going Green, it is high time to promote a new lighting system with "E# technology on campus, which could have remar-able economic and environmental benefits. 1ecause we are targeting a younger generation of energy users, we hope to inspire a new concept incorporated with Going Green. Energy ,itness. Using the ma-eover of /ndia2s largest collegiate recreational facility, Energy ,itness breeds pride is physical and mental health, and we hope this idea of healthiness starts with our lighting #esign 3 "ayout "E#, light4emitting diode is a semiconductor device that emits light completely different from the incumbent fluorescent bulb. $n "E# has several uni(ue characteristics that set it apart from its competition. "ow #+ driven current "ow supply voltage "ow energy consumption o ma-e the installment process as simple as possible, there are )ust two parts in this "E# lighting system.

E*ternal driver

"E# tube

/t is -nown that the common supply voltage is 55' volts $+6 however, an "E# needs a low #+ voltage. hus, a driver for reducing the voltage and changing $+ voltage to #+ voltage is needed. Some "E# tube manufacturers prefer to use an internal driver assembled in the fi*ture. $lthough it ma-es whole system more compact, it would create higher maintenance fees because the entire fi*ture needs to be changed if it brea-s down. herefore, this system prefers to use an e*ternal driver. he ballast is an essential part for a fluorescent tube6 so previous fi*ture already has a space for it. o ma-e the replacement process simple and reduce labor hours, the e*ternal driver is well designed to fit in the same space. #ue to its low driven current, one "E# does not produce as much light compared to the fluorescent tube. he "E# array is needed and is made into a "E# tube. he soc-et and the length of the "E# tube are designed to fit the previous fi*ture, so it is pertinent for the facility management team members to properly install them. Replacing the tube and switching the ballast with the e*ternal driver will allow for optimal efficiency.
