Evaluation of High Efficiency Lighting for New California Homes

This effort identifies best practices for developing a cost-effective All High Efficacy (AHE) residential lighting measure through the evaluation of emerging residential lighting design practices, purchasing processes, installation practices and the end-user experience associated with AHE lighting. To identify the best practices, the project team considered current residential lighting products, the installed socket base in a typical home, industry accepted illuminance recommendations for residential applications, and current energy efficiency code compliant design practices.
