Each public lighting system has the dual objective of guaranteeing on the one hand the highest level of safety for its citizens and, on the other, urban decoration.
The correct design of a public lighting project depends on the following factors:
- Consistency and quality of the emitted light
- Perspectives on plant’s lifespan
- Energy efficiency achievable
- Reduction of maintenance costs
- Selection of light sources based on the place’s characteristics and needs (including historical buildings, monuments, and other interesting structures).
The energy efficiency project of public lighting in Marina di Cecina
In line with the objectives described above, the Municipality of Cecina has advanced an energy efficiency project for public lighting envisaging the replacement of all electrical panels and lighting fixtures and the implementation of a remote management system able to promptly detect any malfunctions (damaged lamps and/or switches not working properly).
Once the project is completed, it is estimated that a total installed power saving of 60% will be achieved.
The project’s intervention areas
To ensure the project is carried out swiftly and efficiently, the municipality has divided the area under intervention into three lots, more specifically:
- Lot #1: North-centre area and San P. in Palazzi
- Lot #2: Marina di Cecina
- Lot #3: Both Cecina centre and south areas.
DZ Engineering has been awarded Lot #2.
