Lighting
The
Purpose of this part of the website is to find out which type of
lighting is more efficient both
in energy usage and in cost. In the chart below shows the dimensions of
our new house. This
will be a helpful in describing the rest of the project.
Life Cycle Analysis of
Incandescent and Fluorescent:
-First thing we need to
do is find out how many lumens is needed for each room in the house. To
do this we
take the area of each room times the amount of footcandles needed for
each room. Here is a list of
footcandles for each room:
Living Room- 10-20 fc
Kitchen- 30-40 fc
Stove- 70-80 fc
Dinning Room- 30-40 fc
Hall Way- 5-10 fc
Sink- 70-80 fc
Bedrooms- 10-20 fc
Bathroom- 70-80 fc
Lumens for each room:
Living Room: 3060
Kitchen: 2700
Stove: 525
Dinning Room: 2700
Hall Way: 360
Sink: 840
Bedroom (13x19): 2470
Bedroom (14x19): 2660
Bathroom: 4410
-Next we have to find how many light bulbs of both Incandescent and
Fluorescent we need per room. To do
this we take the lumens for each room divided by the amount of lumens
each lightbulb gives off. We should
give information on the light bulbs we are comparing before we proceed.
You can see below the information
to complete this step.
Incandescent:
-75 Watt/lumens-855/6000hours of lifetime/cost-$1.20

-15 Watt/lumens-90/5000hours of lifetime/cost-$1.12

Fluorescent:
-18 Watt/lumens-1200/10,000hours lifetime/cost-$6.83

Incandescent Bulbs
Needed: Example: 3060 lumens /
855 watts= 4 bulbs
Living Room: 4 Bulbs(75watt)
Kitchen: 4 Bulbs(75watt)
Stove: 6 Bulbs(15watt)
Dinning Room: 4 Bulbs(75watt)
Hall Way: 4 Bulbs(15watt)
Sink: 1 Bulb(40watt)
Bedroom(13x19): 3 Bulbs(40watt)
Bedroom(14x19): 4 Bulbs(40watt)
Bathroom: 6 Bulbs(40watt)
Fluorescent Bulbs Needed:
Living room: 1 Bulb(40watt) + 1 Bulb(18watt)
Kitchen: 1 Bulb(40watt) + 1 Bulb(4watt)
Stove: 2 Bulbs(4watt)
Dinning Room: 1 Bulb(40watt) + 1 Bulb(4watt)
Hall Way: 2 Bulbs(4watt)
Sink: 4 Bulbs (4watt)
Bedroom(13x19): 1 Bulbs(40watt)
Bedroom(14x19): 1 Bulbs(40watt)
Bathroom: 2 Bulbs(40watt)
-Next we calculate how many bulb changes we will have to do in one
lifetime. To do this we take the lifetime
of the fluorescent which is 10,000 over the lifetime of the incandescent
which is 6,000 and this gives us 2
times.
-Now we use that information to figure out how many Incandescent light
bulbs will be needed. To do this we
take the number we just found times the amount of light bulbs needed to
light the room which we found
above.
Living room: 8 Bulbs
Example: 4
Light Bulbs x 2= 8 Light Bulbs
Kitchen: 8 Bulbs
Stove: 12 Bulbs
Dinning Room: 8 Bulbs
Hall Way: 8 Bulbs
Sink: 2 Bulbs
Bedroom(13x19): 6 Bulbs
Bedroom(14x19): 8 Bulbs
Bathroom: 12 Bulbs
-Next we find the cost of the light bulbs both Incandescent and
Fluorescent. To do this we take the number of
light bulbs needed times the price of the light bulbs which is listed
above.
Cost for Incandescent:
Example: 8
Light Bulbs x $1.20= $9.60
Living room: $9.60
Kitchen: $9.60
Stove: $13.44
Dinning Room: $9.60
Hall Way: $8.96
Sink: $2.40
Bedroom(13x19): $7.20
Bedroom(14x19): $9.60
Bathroom: $14.40
Cost for Fluorescent:
Living room: $16.87
Kitchen: $16.10
Stove: $24.48
Dinning Room: $16.10
Hall Way: $12.24
Sink: $24.48
Bedroom(13x19): $9.98
Bedroom(14x19): $9.98
Bathroom: $19.96
-Next we need to figure out the power requirements for each room. To do
this we take the number of light
bulbs needed for each room and multiply that number by number of watts
each light bulb uses(which is given
above).
Incandescent:
Example:
8 Light Bulbs x 75 watts= 600 watts
Living room: 600 watts
Kitchen: 600 watts
Stove: 180 watts
Dinning Room: 600 watts
Hall Way: 120 watts
Sink: 150 watts
Bedroom(13x19): 450 watts
Bedroom(14x19): 600 watts
Bathroom: 900 watts
Fluorescent:
Dinning room: 58 watts
Kitchen: 44 watts
Stove: 8 watts
Dinning room: 44 watts
Hall Way: 8 watts
Sink: 16 watts
Bedroom(13x19): 40 watts
Bedroom(14x19): 40 watts
Bathroom: 80 watts
