This paper presents a methodology to assess the performance of an outdoor lighting system in an industrial district through an on-site audit and the subsequent definition of specific Performances Indices. The methodology aims to focus on outdoor area illumination in order to assess the current status of the lighting system and subsequently propose how to optimize the energy efficiency, costs as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The results relating to 11 outdoor areas of industrial districts were analysed and presented, focusing on the exterior lighting and comparing their performances. In this perspective, the external lighting system of an industrial district can be regarded as a potential “demonstrator” upon which a numerical/experimental methodology will be developed so as to evaluate the performance of a lighting system from the point of view of its energetic and environmental impact. Finally, appropriate energy efficiency measures are proposed.

Abstract
This paper presents a methodology to assess the performance of an outdoor lighting system in an industrial district through an on-site audit and the subsequent definition of specific Performances Indices. The methodology aims to focus on outdoor area illumination in order to assess the current status of the lighting system and subsequently propose how to optimize the energy efficiency, costs as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The results relating to 11 outdoor areas of industrial districts were analysed and presented, focusing on the exterior lighting and comparing their performances. In this perspective, the external lighting system of an industrial district can be regarded as a potential “demonstrator” upon which a numerical/experimental methodology will be developed so as to evaluate the performance of a lighting system from the point of view of its energetic and environmental impact. Finally, appropriate energy efficiency measures are proposed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
