Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology offers energy savings potentials and performance over incandescent and Compact Fluorescent (CFL) technologies. There are regulatory pressures to promote the use of LEDs, however LED lighting technologies rely on the use of electronic power supplies or...

This project is intended to begin the process of creating a certification training course for lighting planners and designers. Designed a core rationale, process and expectations on the development of the curriculum and initiate lessons'...

This project is aimed at investigating advanced lighting sources/systems to replace legacy HPS, typically ring-mounted at 100" AFG, for dockyards. The specific application is for High-Mast lighting commonly found in shipyards, train stations and highways. The project will focus on modeling an...

This project is a field evaluation to test the feasibility of high efficacy lighting systems with controls to illuminate utility substation switch racks, entrances, roadways, parking lots, and pathways. The project will test energy efficient fixtures to identify if they provide equal or better...

This project is intended to explore best practice best design concepts for lighting improvements to showroom/showroom offices, and front lot as a pre-cursor to testing the design in a future phase. The study will utilize an actual site to audit to determine the potential for energy efficiency. This...

Bi-level stairwell lighting is an underutilized technology that uses occupancy sensors to switch between higher light output (when the space is occupied) and lower light output (when the space is unoccupied) to save energy. The purpose of this testing is to validate the performance of a new...

The objectives of this project is to evaluate the market techniques used by three consultants to see if the information provided, by their expertise in market research, will better identify the key market intelligence needed to determine if a technology is a solid candidate for an ET Project, and...

This project evaluates technologies with a systems approach that have the potential to reduce electric energy use and then apply same in the field with enough examples to gather useful public feelings and acceptance. The primary goal is a proof-of-concept (POC) assessment of energy savings...

This laboratory evaluation is aimed to evaluate the potential retrofit solutions available to replace existing fluorescent technology and magnetic ballasts with more efficient lighting solutions, such as light emitting diodes (LED). Energy savings will be analyzed while comparing the photometric...

The goal of this project is to bring together manufacturers and industry stake holders to develop standards for advanced lighting systems. Conduct a series of industry meetings as well as a number of field placement studies on technologies and standards. Identify market and technology strategies...
