1 Led panel to replace Fluorescent tube LED panel is to replace fluorescent tube lamp s troffer type The benefit of LED panel compared with fluorescent troffer is as follows: Easy to install Energy saving Longer lifetime Do not have heavy metal (mercury) & do not emit ultraviolet

Led panel to replace Fluorescent tube 1. Fluorescent tube efficiency +/- 60 % (40 % of the electricity energy becomes heat) 2. Contain heavy metal (mercury) 3. Emits ultra violet 4.

LED panel light efficiency +/-85 % (only 15 % of the electricity energy becomes heat) 2. No heavy metal inside 3. Not emitting ultra violet 4. Longer life time (40,000 50,000 hours) 5.

2 Led panel to replace Fluorescent tube 1. Fluorescent tube efficiency +/- 60 % (40 % of the electricity energy becomes heat) 2. Contain heavy metal (mercury) 3. Emits ultra violet 4. Shorter life time (6,000 10,000 hours) 5. Conventional technology (not much improvement for example the light efficacy of fluorescent tube cannot be improved anymore) 1. LED panel light efficiency +/-85 % (only 15 % of the electricity energy becomes heat) 2. No heavy metal inside 3. Not emitting ultra violet 4. Longer life time (40,000 50,000 hours) 5. Newer technology (still can be improved further for example the light efficacy is improving by inventing a better LED chips) To replace a conventional fluorescent tube we can replace it with an LED panel with only half of the power required by a conventional fluorescent tube. It means The electricity consumption of an LED panel will be only half of the electricity consumption of a conventional fluorescent tube The CO2 emission to the atmosphere is also reduced! Longer life time of LED panel will create less maintenance cost & downtime.

CO2 emission Power Plant When fuel combust in a gas turbine or steam boiler of a power plant to produce electricity they release energy which

The amount of energy that they liberate and the amount of carbon gas they give off in the process are both proportional to the amount of fuel

protection agency) egrid emission factors based on 2009 and 2012 data On average, Electricity sources emit 0.75 kg to 2.

7 CO2 emission Power Plant When fuel combust in a gas turbine or steam boiler of a power plant to produce electricity they release energy which is measured in kilowatt-hours (kwh) and a mass of carbon dioxide gas. The amount of energy that they liberate and the amount of carbon gas they give off in the process are both proportional to the amount of fuel that burns Combustion CO2 NOx SOx in USA calculated the emissions from electricity generation based off figures from the EPA s (environment protection agency) egrid emission factors based on 2009 and 2012 data On average, Electricity sources emit 0.75 kg to 2.69 kg CO 2 per kwh (depend on different fuel type & combustion type) When a 100 watts of lamp is activated for 10 hours per-day in 365 days we can calculate the CO2 emission minimum as follows = 365 x 10 x 100 :1,000 x 0.75 = 274 kg of CO2
