For many, lighting is perceived as a low energy user in comparison to other areas of consumption; such as heating, air conditioning and fuel burners.
However the figures present a very different story - in fact 19% of global electricity is used for lighting and commercial and public sector buildings account for 43% of the electricity used for lighting in the UK.
Eddie Guest, European Marketing Director at GE Consumer and Industrial, comments: "Rapidly increasing energy costs and ever tighter legislative pressures have put energy efficiency at the top of most business agendas, however many organisations don't know who should be responsible for this area or even where they should start".
"By offering a free lighting energy audit we hope to try and relieve some of this pressure by giving practical and useful advice on what organisations can do to reduce their energy consumption".
