barryfienes Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Energy efficient fluorescent lighting is very much relied on by many people who have not been used to other expensive means of lighting. There are no covers that you need to have when you are using this kind of lighting because the fluorescent just reflects the light from escaping to space. The cost of the fluorescent is usually very low and affordable hence you can afford it at any cost.

mariomaggi Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 One important way to increase the efficiency is the infrared selection on roofs.During summer time, sunrays must be reflected.During winter time, sunrays must be absorbed.This should be done easily only adding a double-face cover on roofs.These covers must be reversed manually 2 times per year.Best regards,Mario Mario Maggi - Italy - http://www.evlist.it - https://www.axu.it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
