New LG20 lighting guide helps FMs reduce energy consumption A new publication setting out lighting-related tasks that need to be considered or undertaken by facilities managers (FMs), has been published by the Society of Light and Lighting (SLL). LG20: Lighting and facilities management is designed to help FMs who are required to maintain, modify and update electric lighting installations. It sets out relevant lighting tasks, ranging from lamp replacement to procurement or turnkey supply for upgrading lighting installation. Facilities managers may also be responsible for energy monitoring within a building, so will need to be aware of the energy performance of a lighting installation so they can identify how energy savings can be achieved while maintaining appropriate light levels. As stated in the publication introduction: It is about providing the right amount of light in the right place for the right amount of time.
