lighting

One of the most challenging evaluation questions for residential lighting energy efficiency programs in the U.S. is the identification and correction for net-to-gross (NTG) effects such as free ridership and spillover. Over the last twenty years, considerable effort and financial resources have been directed toward accurately measuring these effects. Furthermore, the correction for these NTG effects has direct, and sometimes, drastic impact on program savings.

Solid-State Lighting (using LEDs) presents both a risk and an opportunity for utility incentives programs.  While LEDs are rapidly becoming a feasible technology for achieving maximum lighting efficiency, high costs and uncertain performance have hampered the adoption of LED measures into lighting incentives programs.  The DesignLights Consortium is the Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnership’s national program that takes much of the guesswork out of identifying quality LED

This is the archive, including audio, of a webinar that was presented by Chad Bulman, Program Manager, on August 11, 2010.  This webinar acts as a primer for municipalities taking their first steps in solid-state lighting  It was given as part of MEEA's work with the Department of Energy's Technical Assistance program.

The emerging Solid-State Lighting market can be intimidating and risk prone.  The Midwest LEDers
program offers flexible, yet robust, assistance in quick-launching SSL initiatives, ensuring that your
first steps into solid-state lighting aren't missteps.
