#EnergyWaste

Continuing with IDA's trivia, since we can see that outdoor lightning is not efficiently designed and part of that light is escaping to space:

How much money does wasted outdoor light at night escaping to space represent in annual energy cost, in the USA?

USD $100 billion

USD $1 billion

USD $50 billion

USD $1 trillion

Answer: USD $50 billion

The costs are not just monetary. Those funds could be invested in many different things. It is also the impact on climate change due to that inefficient lightning.

It is important to be mindful about how we use artificial lightning at night.

Earlier this year I had a look at light and repetition in or environment and the effects it has in the heavily populated living spaces that occur in our inner cities and towns. #lightandenvironment #lighting #lightanddark #shaddows #repetition #livingspaces #lifeinanelevator #towerlife #artinenvironment #instagramer #instaphotos #buildingblocks #twitter #electriclights #lightwaste #energywaste # (at Vauxhall)

Siguiendo con la trivia del IDA, ya que podemos ver que la iluminación exterior no es eficiente y parte de esa luz está escapando al espacio:

¿Del costo anual de energía en EE.UU, la luz que se escapa al espacio, cuánto dinero creen que representa?

° 100 mil millones de USD ° 1 mil millones de USD ° 50 mil millones de USD ° 1 billón de  USD

Respuesta: 50 mil millones de USD

Los costos no son sólo monetarios. Esos fondos podrían invertirse en muchas cosas diferentes. También es el impacto en el cambio climático por esa iluminación ineficiente.

Es importante tener en cuenta cómo usamos la iluminación artificial en la noche.

La contaminación lumínica es pérdida de energía

Esta foto fue tomada a nivel del suelo, probablemente desde el techo de otro edificio. De esta imagen se puede decir que:

° Muchas fuentes a nivel del suelo van hacia arriba. Se pueden ver desde donde la foto fue tomada. ° La iluminación de las calles es demasiado brillante. Por lo general, las calles son iluminadas mucho más de lo que necesitamos para ver y movernos con seguridad. ° La luz se proyecta desde las ventanas del edificio hacia afuera. En muchas ciudades los rascacielos dejan las luces encendidas toda la noche. Esto tiene consecuencias para la vida silvestre, especialmente para las aves migratorias. ° También hay luz en los techos o puntas de los edificios que nadie usa. Mucha de esa luz nunca llega a un objetivo. Si pensamos en cómo generamos electricidad, ambos factores se acumulan con el tiempo.
