As identified by the studyLifestyle 2019, carried out by the global consultancy Nielsen, 42% of Brazilian consumers claimed to bemodifying consumption habits thinking about sustainability and reducing its impact on the environment. In industry this scenario is no different, and sustainable lighting is a great path for those who are part of this group.
In addition to being beneficial to the environment, sustainable lighting should bring gains to industries such asdurability, economy and quality. Check out some possibilities in this post and evaluate which one makes the most sense for implementation in your workplace.
Industrial lighting possibilities
There are different types of industrial lighting possible with the aim of making better use of natural light and making factory environments healthier for the people who work in them, in addition to generating savings for the industry. This is because spending on electricity corresponds to a large portion of the energy consumed — and this corresponds to almost 20% of the industry's monthly expenses.
Discover some sustainable and natural lighting possibilities to generate energy efficiency in your industry:
Domus
O DomusIt is made up of translucent platespolycarbonateinstalled on the roofs of industrial warehouses that facilitate the entry of natural light. Through the phenomenon of refraction, the light that enters through prismatic polycarbonate sheets is expanded to more areas of the environment and prevents the Sun from falling directly on employees.
Lantern
Thinking about a sustainable lighting package, temperature control and air renewal, through ventilation, an option available on the market is theLantern. Through metal structures installed on the roof of the warehouses, strategic openings are created that allow the Chimney and Venturi effects to occur for air circulation.
Industrial Venetian
If your warehouse has a structure for installing side windows, theindustrial shuttersmay represent a good option. These are also metallic structures that help with the entry of air and light into industrial warehouses, improving thermal and visual comfort and facilitating the daily lives of employees.
LED lamps
A LED lightingIt can be installed in warehouses to complement natural lighting and still bring savings and sustainability. This is because, in addition to requiring less maintenance,tion and exchanges than sodium and mercury vapor lamps, which are commonly used for industrial lighting, LED lamps are recyclable and can be dimmed.
Installing sensors that capture the natural lighting present in the environment and automatically activate the lighting and energy intensity of LED lamps based on need is a sustainable way of using this resource in your industrial warehouse. Get to know theMB Smart, technology that allows this process to be carried out. This way, your industry will have more savings and better use of the most sustainable forms of energy consumption possible.
Cost benefit of sustainable lighting
Among the main elements considered when talking about sustainable lighting for industry iscost-benefithas greater prominence. Companies often prefer to install simpler, lower-priced tiles for immediate payment, but end up bearing the consequences of this with therapid loss of product quality.
Fiberglass tiles are also options sold on the market, and usually at a lower cost. However, when there is no UV protection in the material used, for example, the fibers dry out and crack, creating the need for more frequent maintenance. To change the coverage of industrial warehouses, it is necessary to follow a series of technical regulations, so investing in a more expensive solution for this coverage, but longer lasting, can be amost profitable option in the long term.
