This project is to assess the performance of a LED and photo luminescent hybrid exit sign that uses a 0.5W LED to power a Photoluminescent sign face. The project will evaluate power usage to calculate potential savings as compared to standard LED exit...

This project is to assess the state of LED tubes for retrofitting linear fluorescent lamps used in recessed troffer applications. The options range from simple lamp only replacements to full lamp and ballast retrofits. The assessment would include research for existing literature on specifications...

Billboards are outdoor signs typically large in size (14 feet by 48 feet to as large as 20 feet by 60 feet) and located along highways and busy surface streets. Traditional or “static” signs are comprised of paper panels lit at night with HID, fluorescent, or LED flood lamps. Digital...

To conduct a laboratory test in order to determine the potential energy savings of occupancy counting switch in lieu of conventional devices such as timer switch, or Pyroelectric InfraRed (PIR) and ultrasonic type occupancy sensors. The conventional technology uses occupancy sensors with switching...

This report presents the results of detailed monitoring of the Cottle Zero Net Energy (ZNE) Home over 12 months from April 1st, 2013 through March 31st, 2014. The home has been occupied during the monitoring period by a family of five who moved in February 2013. Analysis includes evaluation of ZNE...

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...

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 architects, designers and specifiers of lighting control systems. Initiate a collaborative committee of subject matter experts and well-known stakeholders to develop a needs analysis that lighting control...

Market and technical study of LED replacement lamps with embedded controls/smartphone apps for user...

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....
