الملخص الإنجليزي

Rising global energy demand and the scarcity of energy resources as well as the natural disasters continuously threaten energy Supplies and prices.

As a result, the Jordanian government has mandated all government agencies to reduce energy consumption in order to minimize dependence on foreign energy supplies and reduce the energy bill.

Concern over carbon emissions and environmental impacts has also been expressed in Jordan.

Significant of part for the energy bill is due to lighting.

Therefore one solution is to invest in newer renewable energy lighting technologies, such as photovoltaic road lighting systems (PVRLS), in order to reduce the energy consumption and gas emission for exterior roadway lighting applications.

This research compared such lighting technologies with the traditional electrical road lighting system (TRLS) at Amman-Airport Highway (AAH) as a case study to assess the economic and environmental consequences associated with each technology over the product life-cycle.

This study utilizes system Life-Cycle Cost software BLCC5 to perform the analysis.

The PVRLS technology showed moderate economic savings and less environmental impact over the TRLS technology.

The overall economic life-cycle costs for SRLS lighting are 21 % less, than TRLS lighting.

The net saving for applying this study nationally across Jordan calculated to be approximately $242 million, and this number expected to increase with the increasing of oil prices globally, decreasing in PVRLS initial and replacement costs and scarcity of TRLS replacement parts in the future.
