Nowadays, there is an in-depth debate about the suitability of daylight saving time. The shift of one hour during summer time allows a better use of daylighting reducing energy consumptions. However, the impact
Energy ConsumptionYieldGreenhouse productionHorticultureClimate changeGreenhouse horticulture is a very energy-intensive industry in cold regions such as Canada due to heating and lighting needs. It is still largely unknown how climate change will impact the energy profile and productivity of this vital ...

LEDs have a long lifespan compared to traditional light sources. On average, LEDs can last anywhere from 25,000 to 50,000 hours or even more, depending on the quality of the LED and its usage. This longevity makes them a cost-effective lighting solution in the long run. ...
We have migrated to the exclusive use of LED lighting in our office buildings to reduce energy consumption and have installed occupancy sensors in high-traffic areas. Timer-controlled common area lighting systems and HVAC also reduce utility service during periods of low occupancy, and we have real...
Providing light or supplementing lighting for the planting room is not just a matter of turning on the lights and setting a plausible illumination time, and it may not be as simple as you think. It is significant to choose a low-energy consumption lamp equipped with a reasonable and accurate...

site in Pune, comprising 1,550 solar panels produced with our TONSAN® products on a 4,000-square-meter roof that generates 650 kW AC of renewable energy for the plant. This installation will reduce the facility’s overall electricity consumption by 30% and CO2 emissions by 850 tons per ...
The over-reliance on electric lighting has been causing a significant increase in energy consumption and excessive emissions of CO2 (Behar-Cohen et al., 2011a). The world is estimated to consume approximately 2650 billion megawatt-hours of electricity annually to power electric lighting, constituting...
consumption in energy and raw materials, has become an active field of research during the last years. However, this line of work is mainly focused on tunnels, that rarely exceed two kilometers long. The increasing number of very long underground roads (VLUR) like those under rivers and ...
