Many of them are veryinefficient when it comes to energy use.The main step to implement EE options is energy audit.The energy audit is carried out for a lot of RWs. It includes: observing the naturallighting, analysis of past energy bills, list for the type of loads (lamp, AC, fans, andwater heaters), define savings potential, energy cost saving actions, reduction in gasemissions, and calculating the payback period.Within RWs lighting makes up a significant part of electric energy consumption.Therefore, EE lighting technologies have been targeted by efficiency programs. Thereare many advanced energy saving technologies like; electronic ballasts, fluorescenttube (T5), and light emitting diodes (LEDs).The most significant thing achieved by the auditors was the amount of money that willbe saved due to implement options as lighting improvements and air conditioningcontrol. The Egyptian Electricity Holding Company supports all customers, commercial,governmental, public utility…..etc. sectors to implement EE standards and codes for electric equipment and appliances.This paper focuses on using LEDs for interior and external lighting of RWs, to verifythe necessary illuminance, comfort conditions and energy savings.The paper also presents: Training, capacity building and awareness for preachers,routine and preventive maintenance, simple, low cost and long-term energy saving tipsthat every RW can do to conserve energy, save money and reduce CO2 emissions,lighting power density, the maximum lighting power per unit area of a building andclassification of space function.
