2 Ensure light fixtures are properly oriented to light the required work area/pathways 2.6% Moderate 2.0% 2.5% Moderate 1.9%

Ensure that light fixtures are zoned or are not on a single wiring circuit to control lighting
3 more efficiently allowing the light fixtures to be switched off when not required, for example 3.9% High 3.9% 3.7% High 3.7%
when day light is available or work is not scheduled in that area
 Ensure that light fixtures are clean and maintained properly such that the light output is as
4 close as possible to the manufacturer specifications 1.3% High 1.3% 1.2% High 1.2%

5 Consider renewable energy sources for whole or part of site lighting 6.6% High 6.6% 6.2% High 6.2%

6 Ensure that flickering or damaged lights present on site are replaced 1.3% High 1.3% 1.2% High 1.2%

Ensure that generators are not oversized and run at low load conditions. Calculate the
genrator load factor based on the KWh that the generator would have produced at rated
power for the assessment period and the actual KWh reading from the generator energy
meter for the same assessment period.
