The LEDs have an in-built occupancy sensor and operates for 10hours daily. Assuming the electricity source that supplies the facility's electricity has an emission factor of 800g. Co,e/kWh and the energy cost is $0.10/kWh, while the demand charge is $8/kW-month. Calculate the annual & lifetime energy savings and CO, savings (LED has 14 years lifespan). Also calculate the payback period, given that the installation cost for the LED is $120 each
