Public street lighting can account for a large part of the total bill in typical cities worldwide. It
is a key consideration for any government from several perspectives. These include
environmental, safety, and economical issues.
Urbagroup actively works with policymakers, manufacturers and researchers to develop
product energy-efficiency standards and labeling programs to reduce the energy
consumption of specific appliances, equipment, lighting, and other devices.
The Urbagroup Initiative also promotes and supports the procurement of energy-efficient
products worldwide, supporting policymakers by conducting product-specific technical
analyses and research studies; sharing best procurement practices; and evaluating “green”
public procurement programs.
Many governments participate in This Initiative to accelerate and strengthen the
implementation of Saving energy programs around the world.
