"The optimized lighting systems at 155 Iki shops will help save 30% of electrical power and increase the lighting of the shopping centers by 20 to 30%", Gytis Janusauskas, head of the Novelties and Energy Efficiency Group of City Service, said.

By June of this year, City Service specialists will replace in Iki shopping centers almost 40,000 traditional lamps with new technology lamps, writes LETA/ELTA.

This step will enable the consumption of electrical power to be reduced by approximately 16,000 kilowatt/hours per day. Furthermore, the emission of carbon dioxide due to the production of electrical power will decrease by over 3,500 tons per year.

With a view to finding the most efficient technical solution, City Service specialists have dedicated 6 months to the testing of various lighting technologies, measurements, and applied research at one of Iki shopping center.

"This solution, which helps save energy costs and is environmentally friendly, when implemented at shopping centers, will pay for itself in less than one year", Janusauskas said.

According to him, the service to increase the efficiency of the consumption of energy resources is of great relevance to companies managing shopping centers, warehouses, factories, and business centers.

"Our solutions allow increasing the efficiency of not only electrical power consumption but also thermal energy and gas consumption", Janusauskas added.

City Service group companies operate in Lithuania, Latvia, Russia, and Ukraine. The total area of buildings managed by the group equals almost 18 million square meters.

City Service shares are listed on the Official List of the Vilnius Stock Exchange NASDAQ OMX Vilnius.
