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...

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....

This project evaluates the lighting performance and energy savings potential of a Lamp-style Retrofit Kit, External Driver (a solution with separate lamp and driver), combined with a Wireless Advanced Lighting Control System (ALCS) to achieve additional energy savings and DR...

The primary objective of this project was to demonstrate energy savings in the small and medium sized business sector by means of low-cost technology retrofits that leverage advances in intelligent advices and lower-cost networked controls. The primary project learnings showed:Recruiting SMB...

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'...

HGW Architects is the first commercial ZNE building in San Diego. SDG&E ET collaborated with Savings by Design to make this happen. ET then conducted a comprehensive study to understand modeled vs. actual building performance. The analysis discusses data discrepancies and methods used to...

This project evaluates the performance and savings potential of driver integrated linear LED tubes (~22W per lamp) at one demonstration site as a potential retrofit for existing linear fluorescent T8 fixtures (28-31W per lamp). The project also integrates the use of wireless lighting controls to...

The project evaluated wireless lighting controls technology at the Contra Costa County Office of Education building. The project area consisted of two private offices, two open offices, and a non-daylight area. The general lighting for the area is provided primarily by 2' x 4' linear fluorescent...

This field study evaluated the demand response (DR) capability of advanced lighting control systems (ALCS) acting on backlit menu boards. Four types of ALCS were installed in five fast food restaurants. The ALCSs were from Daintree Networks, Enlighted, Acuity nLight, and WattStopper. Two sites used...
