In Energy Saving projects, Savings form the most important component. To measure Energy Savings, it is important to understand how much energy was being consumed, it is critical.

In order to establish energy savings achieved, it is important to understand how much was being consumed earlier. This process of establishing base line forms the very basis of any Energy Saving Project.

Samudra offers services for carrying out Energy Audits and establishing baseline for LED Lighting projects.

Advantages: 

• Measures current lighting consumption using scientific measuring methods and equipment.
• Categorizes the existing lights based on type, rated power and actual power consumption.
• Measures electrical parameters such as PF, Current, Voltage, Frequency, Kwh and THD.
• Measures lighting parameters such as CRI, CCT and Lux.
• Comparative analysis between existing lights and recommended led lights on electrical and lighting parameters.
• Detailed reports backed by authorized facts
• Establishes baseline which can be used to measure energy savings after replacing existing lights with LED lights.

Lighting Design plays an important role in optimizing energy savings. A good lighting plan helps in determining lighting that works best for you. 

Without a lighting plan, it is almost impossible to understand the type, quantity and power of lights required for a project, the achievable lux, mounting height, light position etc. 

Samudra uses Dialux to design lighting plans based on which we are able to provide the best recommendations to our customers.

A scientifically made lighting design takes the following into account: 

1. Know the reasons for using lighting (office lighting, street lighting, parking bays, etc.)

2. Determining the tasks, the area will be used for 

3. Determine the lux level requirements of the area (e.g. on the floor, on the work plane, on the walls, etc.) 

4. Aesthetics

5. Prescribed/recommended Lux levels

Tools/Required for making a lighting plan: 

1. An AutoCAD drawing of the area which needs to be illuminated

2. IES files of the lights which are proposed for the designated area and the desired lux. 

3. A software for simulation (e.g. Dialux, Relux, etc.)

Samudra lends its lab facilities should you like to get your product tested as per LM79 Standards, generate IES files, test electrical parameters, surge tests etc. Samudra’s state-of-the-art lab is equipped with the latest:

• Goniophotometer
• Integrating Sphere
• Surge Generator
• Electro Static Discharge Generator
• Voltage Dip & Interruption Generator
