Additional Information
Interior Lighting Campaign 2015-2019
Interior Lighting Campaign (ILC) participants have replaced more than 3.5 million lighting systems saving roughly 800 million kWh of electricity annually and $85 million in energy costs. This report summarizes four years of results and lessons learned after reviewing more than 3,500 retrofit projects submitted through the ILC.
High-Efficiency Troffer Performance Specification
The Better Buildings Lighting and Electrical Team developed this specification for the performance characteristics of high-efficiency lighting troffers; it describes requirements that will result in energy savings, cost savings, and reliable performance. It includes options for additional requirements such as emergency lighting, dimming, and controls.
Advanced Lighting Control System Performance: A Field Evaluation of Five Systems
This report from the Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL) summarizes five field evaluations conducted with the DesignLights Consortium demonstrating the potential energy saving capability of a sampling of advanced lighting control systems in real-world environments.
Energy Savings from Networked Lighting Control (NLC) Systems
This research project collected, aggregated, and analyzed zone- and fixture-level energy monitoring interval data from networked lighting control (NLC) systems in 114 buildings across a variety of building types in North America. The study found average energy savings of 47% from NLCs. From the DesignLights Consortium.
IoT Products and Applications: Lighting Manufacturer and End-User Perspectives
The Internet of Things (IoT) allows buildings to utilize new sensors, generate and record useful data, and influence occupant behaviors and operational procedures for the next phase of energy savings. This PNNL report summarizes research into industry and customer needs and lays out the barriers and best practices that still need to be addressed.
