Sustainable Systems 2Executive summaryThis report examines energy consumption in Queensland. They are affected by mild winters and summers and require air conditioning, refreshing in pools mining and showers. All these activities consume a lot of electricity. Use of energy grows daily due to increased demand in the countries. From the reported increase in consuming energy impacts the environment and leads to risks of production of emissions. More of electricity produced comes from the burning of fossil fuel, coal, gases, mining, and oil. Gases that are produced from combustion of fuel are greenhouse gases that result in global warming, acid rain, ozone depletion and negative effects.This report presents an analysis of lighting energy consumption of Queensland. Potential solutions for saving energy are presented. In order to reduce energy one needs to use better appliances in order to reduce energy consumption costs. Lighting has an opportunity of saving energy. A cost-benefit analysis using payback period is used on the use of LED to replace another existing bulb is used to show benefits. The initial use of LED installation may be greater than traditional light installation. The use of LEDs results in lower energy consumption cost and cost of maintenance. This results in a reduction of TC of installation of energy over time and saving of energy.

Sustainable Systems 4changes and new technologies are used. The perspectives and expectations of individuals about design and functions of energy systems differ. This is due to changes that happen and differ over time. Some people aim to attain lowest economic costs while others aim to attain a stable energy supply (Salvalai, et al., 2015, p. 23). Majority of people believe in the climateand environment as the most crucial elements to consider before implementing and designingthe energy systems. Therefore the community must balance these perspectives and expectations. Production has changed due to changes in fuel, distribution, and importance of energy (Shen, et al., 2016, p. 234). Background informationQueensland is among the states in Australia and one of the famous because of the heritage sites. The climate ranges between subtropical to tropical. It is a winter tourist attraction sites. Queensland has dry and wet seasons because of the latitude. Energy in Queensland is developed through energy and water supply department (Caputo, et al., 2016, p. 378). Increase in consuming energy impacts the environment and leads to risks of production of emissions. 80% of electricity produced comes from burning fossil fuel. Gases that are produced from combustionof fuel are greenhouse gases that result in global warming, acid rain, ozone depletion and negative effects (Tan, et al., 2016, p. 265).Queensland is affected by mild winters and summers that require air conditioning, refreshing in pools mining and showers. All these activities consume a lot of electricity. According to Söderqvist, et al., (2015, p. 256) 40% of Australian energy is spent on cooling and heating activities. Means in which Queensland uses energy
