Project Type IQP Submission date 2007-02-23 Authors Jonathan P Levin, CM Thomas Niemczycki, ECE Vanessa Walton, ME Ian Woloschin, EE URN E-project-022307-070651 Division Energy and Resources Center London, England Sponsor Carbon Reduction in Buildings Title A Study of Overnight Lighting in Non-Domestic Buildings Advisors Petruccelli, Joseph D., MA Brattin, Joel J., HU Availability unrestricted Abstract
The use of electricity, specifically through overnight lighting in non-domestic buildings, is a cause for increasing carbon dioxide emissions. Through our project, we developed and implemented a methodology for nighttime observations and studied the reasons for overnight lighting in commercial buildings. Analysis of our data led to an estimation of power consumption from overnight lighting. Our sponsor will combine our results with existing data to develop a model for predicting carbon dioxide emissions in the United Kingdom.
