LightSavers: Accelerating Low Carbon Lighting Philip Jessup, Executive Director Toronto Atmospheric Fund Thanks: City of Ann Arbor ENERGY STAR ® Participants Meeting June 4-5, 2008

Toronto Atmospheric Fund TAF is a community based incubation and solutions provider that facilitates CO 2 emission reductions

LightSavers—New Paradigm for Lighting A market transformation consortium to pilot test and showcase LED and adaptive control lighting solutions

LightSavers Objectives To accelerate use of LED and intelligent lighting controls that achieve 50% CO 2 emissions reductions in outrdoor applications To create a market transformation consortium in the Greater Toronto Area that partners with suppliers and designers to pilot test and verify performance of new technologies To raise public and municipal awareness of advanced lighting solutions LightSavers Objectives To accelerate use of LED and intelligent lighting controls that achieve 50% CO 2 emissions reductions in outdoor applications To create a market transformation consortium in the Greater Toronto Area that partners with suppliers and designers to pilot test and verify performance of new technologies To raise public and municipal awareness of advanced lighting solutions

LightSavers—Market Transformation 5As framework for LightSavers: Availability Awareness Accessibility Affordability Acceptance NRCan is supporting Awareness & Acceptance streams: Product display event GTA-wide workshop Communications Protocol development Other funders and partners include Ontario Power Authority, TAF, The Clean Air Partnership, & greenTbiz

LEDs—Light Emitting Diode Lights LEDs are superior to high intensity discharge (HID) lamps: better color rendering last 2-to-3 times longer easily dimmed lower maintenance % more efficient Tianjin, China pilot is pilot testing 3,000 street lamps using Cree’s 100 lumen/watt LED chips Key issues hard to verify claims high cost vs. conventional availability in Canada Thanks: Remco

Thanks: City of Oakland and PG&E Photopic versus Scotopic Vision

Adaptive Lighting Controls Adaptive controls adjust illumination levels according to: fixed time schedules available natural light occupancy personal use specific workplace tasks variable load shedding GTA company, Encelium, is a leader—75% energy reduction at Toronto General Significant potential for reducing outdoor lighting illumination Key issues: cost and fear of liability Thanks: Encelium

Lightsaver Application Areas Parking areas and garages, e.g. municipal parking garages, parking decks, etc. Roadways and tunnels, e.g. campuses, off street areas, accessory decorative lighting on shopping streets, roads under bridges Pedestrian pathways in urban village areas, parks, e.g. campuses Architectural illumination, e.g wall packs for security applications Thanks: Relume

LightSaver Consortium—Supplier Criteria Product provides adequate light for application Minimum of 2-year warranty Product is certified CUL/CSA Availability of data on junction temperatures, lumen maintenance, photometric properties, etc. Willingness to discount product Thanks: Hadco

LightSaver Consortium—Pilot Projects Demonstrate LEDs in archetypical applications compared with different base case lamps, e.g. fluorescent, HPS, and metal halide Demonstrate synergies between LED lighting and adaptive controls, e.g. dimming, motion Commitment of funding to pay for pilot retrofit (unless we can raise provincial funds) Commitment of staff time to work with Lightsaver team Thanks: Relume

LightSaver Consortium—Measuring What? Photometric performance, e.g. lumens that fall on a surface Photopic, scotopic and mesotopic plots Energy and operating cost savings leading to business case Environmental benefits, e.g. emission reductions Public acceptability

LEDiscovey 2-day event held in Toronto, March Hosted by greenTbiz 23 manufacturers & suppliers 200 potential buyers “Speed dating” Private second day devoted to establishment of consortium: GTA municiplities Universities Healthcare providers Social housing First consortium workshop will be held in October, 2008 and will review first stage of protocol drafts LightSavers—Initial Event
