Finnish companies and organizations save significantly if instead of a mere cost considerations of audiovisual equipment throughout the life-cycle costs . For example, LED lamps can save running costs by up to 50 per cent. Audio Visual Helsinki 2013 exhibition offers practical information on life-cycle costs from 13 to 15.11.2013.

- Finland has audio-visual equipment life-cycle thinking a developing country. Most of the subscribers to select the cheapest price of the product , and only a very few can or wants to calculate the cost of the product throughout its life cycle . Elsewhere in the world the appropriate attention has been paid for many years, says Avita Association’s Executive Director , and Audio Visual 2013 Helsinki Exhibition arrangements Timo Tuominen .

Life-cycle cost means the aggregate of all the costs that arise for the specified life cycle. Audio-visual equipment are the most important operating, service and maintenance costs . The total expenses also affect the equipment to malfunction or maintenance outages caused by system downtime .

- I’ve been watching the TV studio lighting modernization project , with the traditional studio lights replaced with LED lamps. Light output was unchanged , but the lighting electricity consumption decreased by more than 90 per cent. In addition, the energy used for cooling close to 100 per cent less . These tasks , as well as less likely to cut maintenance costs by more than 50 per cent , which means more than 70 000 euros in annual savings.

- This is big money , and I am concerned about items of public audio-visual equipment repair debt. There are several dozens of 60-80 classes comprising training centers , with audio-visual systems require modernization of 3-6 years.
