Energy efficient lighting improvements in select public buildings in Harbour Island as part of a transition to low carbon and climate resilient development

  • Published on October 20, 2017
The activity was selected through an extensive selection process, including performance of a Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA), Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA), and a Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) with inputs and feedback from key stakeholders in The Bahamas and, more specifically, from Harbour Island. The pilot initiative selected is intended to demonstrate the energy and cost savings and GHG emission reductions to be obtained by replacing old lightbulbs with energy efficient LED lightbulbs in select public buildings in Harbour Island, and as an indirect benefit, facilitates climate change mitigation efforts and improvement of current levels of GHG emissions assessed under the climate diagnostic phase of the CCSIP program.
Based on the selection of the buildings that comply with the established criteria, in combination with the pilot project budget and other factors, decision-makers were able to identify which buildings would be targeted and the number of related lightbulbs requiring replacement. This data will be inventoried in a database for verification of compliance with the established selection criteria. The selection mechanism used to objectively determine which buildings were suitable for replacement or installation of energy efficient LED lightbulbs identified thirteen (13) public buildings as meeting the criteria were identified for the exercise.
