Environmental and sustainable light installations are important for the longevity of the electrical industry. There is an onus on electricians to move with the times and develop ways to incorporate sustainable practices to appease local, state and national environmental protection standards. Sustainable energy lighting technology is becoming more and more important to residents in electricians Point Cook and beyond.
The Australian Government is working with states and territories to gradually phase out inefficient incandescent light bulbs. They believe that “The phase-out will deliver considerable savings to the environment and the economy. Across the country, the move to more efficient lighting such as compact fluorescent lamps (CFL’s) is expected to save around 30 terawatt hours of electricity and 28 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions between 2008 and 2020.” Savings should result at “around $380 million per year by 2020 to the Australian economy [and] more than $50 per year for each household that changes all incandescent light globes to CFL’s.”
According to a report on practical outdoor lighting with a focus on environmental protection, “Studies up until 2002 indicate that bulbs emitting blue and ultraviolet (mercury) radiation attract three times more insects than sodium vapour lamps. Radiations at around 460-470 nm control the circadian rhythms of living creatures and nighttime emission damages and reduces the biodiversity of natural environments and causes disease in humans (effect on certain types of cancer, sleep disruption, etc.). In addition, the low emission to 500nm produces major dazzle to older people (problem with the crystalline).
The Victorian Energy Efficiency Target (VEET) Essential Services Commission (ESC) scheme is designed to make energy efficiency improvements more affordable, contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases, and encourage investment, employment and innovation in industries that supply energy efficiency goods and services.The ESC requires the Victorian energy efficiency certificate (VEEC) assignment form to include all of the information and fields outlined. This is to ensure that the form of assignment used by an Accredited Person collects the information necessary to create VEECs and to demonstrate compliance with the legislation. One VEEC represents one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-e) to be reduced by the prescribed activity undertaken by the consumer. The form refers to the obligations of both the consumer and installer of lights and involves the comprehensive declaration and identification of both parties.
Consumers are able to assign their right to create VEEC’s to an Accredited Person. In assigning their right to an Accredited Person, the Accredited Person will be entitled to create and own the certificates in respect of the prescribed activity undertaken by the consumer. In return, the Accredited Person should provide consumers with an identifiable benefit for the assignation, such as a price reduction on a product, free installation or a cash-back arrangement. Consumers should be aware that it is their responsibility to negotiate satisfactory terms with the Accredited Person in return for assigning their right to create VEEC’s. As of 6.00pm Friday 1 August 2014, the ESC requires that only a fully licensed electrician may complete all stages of an installation.
The benefits of hiring a licensed electrician to help with your residential or commercial installation is that they are aware of all the legislative requirements. They will be able to assist you with idea and concept development, industrial design, product and brand decision-making, manufacturing support and links to other industry contacts and trade services.
