Incredible data from @BloombergNEF and team here; an industry we're proud to participate in.
LEDs reduce waste heat by 80%+ even versus fluorescent, so commercial adoption of LEDs will also help moderate growth in cooling-related electricity demand.
Improvements in lighting technology mean that:
*⃣The world now uses less electricity for 💡 than for cooling
💡 The world now uses less 🔌 for 💡than for low-temperature heating
💡US households use less 🔌for 💡than for its fridges and dryers

Very proud of the team on this. 3.5 GWh per year reduced from one of the largest lighting retrofits in NYC history. linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…
Good day to be visiting one of the city’s great institutions, with whom we are very excited to partner on making buildings more efficient through lighting and controls.
Starting at the end of 2023, New York City will have one of the highest carbon prices in the world. Buildings will pay $268 per ton emitted above a 2005 benchmark.

Michael Hennessy knows small changes can yield big results. His lightbulb moment is truly a bright idea: save energy by switching the lights in New York City to LED. Now @wavelengthlight is making the city a brighter place. #Grist50 grist.org/grist-50/2020/#mic…
