RE-SCHEDULED! Hitting the Target: ENERGY STAR SSL Outdoor Area Lighting Webcast
October 8, 2009
10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. PST; 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. EST
Introduction: Richard Karney, ENERGY STAR Program Manager, US DOE
Speaker: Jason Tuenge, PNNL
Facilitator: Kelly Gordon, PNNL
Solid-state lighting (SSL) products are increasingly available for outdoor lighting applications and LED luminaires can now compete with high intensity discharge sources. However, not all LED luminaires are created equal. To differentiate products that will save energy over incumbent technologies, DOE has developed ENERGY STAR criteria covering SSL-based outdoor area and roadway lighting, outdoor wall packs, parking garage, and canopy luminaires. This webcast provided an update on the new criteria, including description of the Fitted Target Efficacy metric and how ENERGY STAR will use it to evaluate outdoor area and roadway luminaires. It also looked at how currently available LED products compare to conventional lighting technologies for outdoor area lighting applications.
