The Company<br />
<strong>KEC</strong> - <strong>Kretschmer</strong> Energie-Consulting GmbH:<br />
• Company founded 1981 - first energy-saving company in Germany<br />
• merged with <strong>KEC</strong> in 2004<br />
Current focus: efficient lighting<br />
• Development, production and marketing of energy-efficient lighting solutions<br />
• Specializing in retrofit solutions<br />
• High efficiency / low cost: reflectors COSINO and Silverbird<br />
• Low- and high-bay light fixtures AREALUX using COSINO-reflectors<br />
• Retrofit-solutions using T5 – fluorescent tubes<br />
CEO:<br />
<strong>Roland</strong> <strong>Kretschmer</strong> (Dipl.-Phys. = BS Physics)<br />
active in energy saving projects since 1985
Retrofit means:<br />
• Savings of appr. 50% by<br />
systematic combination of techniques<br />
• Enhancement of illumination<br />
• ROI: 1 to 5 years<br />
• Longer life of the installation - up to 10 years<br />
• To be implemented with (relatively) low<br />
investment in a short time<br />

Retrofit-Reflectors „COSINO“
Advantages of COSINO retrofit - reflectors<br />
• Conversion of lighting fixtures 2:1<br />
with 50% savings<br />
or<br />
• Re-fitting of reflectors getting up to 200%<br />
higher illumination<br />
• Applicable to many types of fixtures:<br />
- with opal (white) covering<br />
- with prismatic covering<br />
- with white or reflector grid<br />
- free shining tubes<br />
- moisture-proof fittings<br />
• To be assembled cheaply, quickly and easily<br />
• Very short ROI, often less than 1 year<br />

Types of COSINO-Reflectors
Unique characteristics of COSINO reflectors<br />
• Very compact - but with 90% efficiency due to accurate simulation<br />
and high-quality reflector aluminium with 95% reflectivity<br />
• Little material usage and large-scale production<br />
lead to low costs<br />
• No grounding required because of electrical insulation<br />
• Unique method of inseparable combination of aluminium and<br />
insulation-foil<br />
• Protected by EU patents<br />

fixtures:<br />
� 560 pcs. with 2 58W tubes<br />
� Retrofit to 1 tube with reflectors<br />
and tri-phosphor lamps<br />
� Use of additional reflectors to<br />
increase illumination
Results:<br />
Costs of energy 43% reduction<br />
Project data - example<br />
Total energy savings 149,000 kWh per year<br />
Power reduction 37.3 kW<br />
Costs of maintenance approx 50% lower<br />
CO 2 reduction 88.1 tons per year<br />
Illumination 20% to 100% increase<br />
Costs for<br />
material + assembly < $20,000<br />
ROI ~15 months<br />
