Metal Halide Lamp Fixtures Preliminary Analysis Public Meeting

The Department of Energy (DOE) is holding a public meeting that covers the energy conservation standards preliminary analysis for metal halide lamp fixtures.

The public meeting gives DOE an opportunity to discuss and receive comments on: (1) the product classes that DOE analyzed for purposes of amending energy conservation standards for certain metal halide lamp fixtures; (2) the analytical framework, models, and tools that DOE is using to evaluate standards for these products; (3) the results of preliminary analysis performed by DOE for these products; and (4) the potential energy conservation standard levels derived from these analyses that DOE could consider for these products. DOE published this notice of public meeting to announce the availability of the preliminary technical support document which details the preliminary analysis, discusses the comments on the framework document, and summarizes the preliminary results. In addition, the notice of public meeting announced a public meeting to solicit feedback from interested parties on the analytical framework, models, and preliminary results.
