Abstract
A targeted energy analysis was carried out in a textile industry focusing on lighting system. It is observed from the study that the industry can replace the existing TL-D 36 W/54 fluorescent tube lights with energy efficient TL-5 28 W/865 fluorescent tube lights with electronic ballast. This has resulted in energy saving of 206388 kWh per annum. The corresponding CO2 mitigation is estimated at 167.174 t CO2/annum. An experiment was conducted to identify the exact light intensity of the proposed lighting system. The result shows that the light intensity has reduced by 11.1 % which is insignificant compared to energy saving and CO2 mitigation. The investment for the new lighting fixtures is estimated at INR 0.468 million with cost saving of INR 1.65 million which has return on investment of just 3.3 months.
