No need for overly lit rooms. In other words, using the bulbs and lights that use a huge amount
of energy must be saved. There must be proper tests of the lights done and then the right model
has to be selected. T8 LED lights can be used which are really very effective in saving the

There are many ways for checking the reduction in a low cost or a very reasonable way. They are
as follows
 Making the staffs get used to the habit of switching off the lights whenever they are done
working with.
 One must also follow the practice of checking the old lights and changing them with the
new LED lights. In other words, the LED lights or the LED fittings must be used so that
they can contribute towards the conservation of the lights (Allcott & Rogers, 2014).
 Reducing and properly managing the duration for which the AC or the air conditioning is
run within the organization.
 Conducting proper campaigns that will help in educating the employees and the students
accessing the library about the ways of conserving the energy
 The library must keep some funds aside so that they can spend it in buying some of the
energy conserving or energy efficient products.
 There must be the installation of the lights and light detectors in all the stack areas as
well. This will help in checking whether only these lights that are needed are being kept
or not (Kumar, 2017).
