Energy Efficiency

Energy Efficiency consists of reducing the energy consumption needed to provide the same level of service. In street lighting, this doesn't simply mean "turning off lights," but rather illuminating better while consuming less, through more effective technologies (LED) and intelligent management.

It's a legal imperative (Outdoor Lighting Installation Energy Efficiency Regulation) and moral duty (carbon footprint reduction) for all administrations.

Energy Audit: The starting point

You can't improve what you don't measure. To execute an efficiency plan (like switching to LED), you first need to know what you have: How many sodium vapor lamps remain? What wattages do they have? What's the current theoretical consumption?

Maptainer as a continuous audit tool

Maptainer is vital for energy managers:

• Consumption Calculation: With the detailed inventory including wattages and auxiliary equipment, the software can calculate installed power by panel, street, or neighborhood.
• Renovation Planning: Allows filtering the most inefficient zones on the map to prioritize investments.
• ROI Tracking: After installing LED, Maptainer records the change. By comparing historical data, you can certify the savings achieved and justify the subsidy or investment to municipal oversight.
