We at AffordableLED are proud to say that we offer energy-saving scrolling LED sign for businesses that are attractive and effective at the same time.

The Department of Energy has marked October as the Energy Action Month as a support to President Obama’s Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future. In line with DOE’s call to action for saving energy, water and money of the American taxpayers, Cree, Inc. has published an infographic to help spreading the message.

Here are some fast facts from the said infographic on the savings potential of the LED technology:

  • -- LED lighting has the potential to cut U.S. lighting energy consumption by 19% in 2020

  • -- By 2030, the energy savings it has created could rise up to 46%

  • -- The estimated energy savings the year 2030 is said to be the equivalent of powering 24 million homes in the U.S. for an entire year

  • -- The majority of the energy consumption in the country is generated from commercial use

  • -- LED lighting is expected to represent 36% of lumen-hour sales in 2020

  • -- The expected lumen-hour sales of LED lighting fixtures is to increase to 74% by 2030

  • -- A significant increase in market penetration for LED lighting is foreseen as lamps and luminaries achieve their expected efficiency, lifetime and price targets

  • -- In 2030, the annual energy savings from the increased LED lighting penetration is estimated to be 300 Terawatt-Hours. This is equivalent to the annual electricity output of 1,000-megawatt power plants and to $ 30 billion worth of savings in that year alone

  • -- The same energy savings can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 210 million metric tons of carbon. This decreased amount of carbon emissions is equivalent to 86 billion gallons of gasoline emissions as well as electrical emissions from 96 million homes. Removing 150.9 million cars from the road can also create the same amount of savings from greenhouse gas emissions.

THE BOTTOMLINE: Over the 20-year analysis made by the Department of Energy, the cumulative site energy savings are estimated to total approximately 2,700 terawatt-hours. This translates to $ 250 billion in today’s energy prices.
