1. Transitioning to more Comprehensive Lighting Program Approaches
Background, Program Drivers and Current Efforts

2. Agenda Why are we looking at comprehensive lighting programs?
What is a comprehensive lighting program?
How do programs transition to a comprehensive lighting approach?
How can we support this transition?
What has been accomplished to date?
What are the next steps?

3. Why are We Looking at Comprehensive Lighting Programs?
Claiming energy savings from lighting programs is becoming more challenging
New minimum efficiency standards will change the baseline
Increased energy efficiency savings targets
Talk of market transformation
Some programs are beginning to experience this now, many more will in the future
Efficiency programs are finding it increasingly more challenging to claim energy savings. There are new minimum efficiency standards that will be set starting in The energy savings goals in the different states and provinces are increasing. There is also talk of market transformation with regards to fluorescent products in some areas.
Based on this programs are looking for a new approach, which is what we have identified as Comprehensive Lighting Programs.

4. What is a Comprehensive Lighting Program?
A comprehensive lighting program is a program that includes more than one-for-one product replacement
It can include any or all of the following components:
Traditional technologies
Emerging technologies
Lighting controls
Daylighting
Design
Our definition is relatively broad.

5. How Can We Support this Transition?
A Comprehensive Lighting Working Group was formed at CEE’s 2009 Industry Partner Meeting
Participants include:
CEE members
Government representatives
Manufacturers
Trade associations

6. How Do Programs Transition to a Comprehensive Lighting Approach?
New Programs
One for one product replacements
Mature Programs
Continuing with one for one product replacements
Researching emerging technologies and advanced lighting controls
We’ll hear more about how individual programs are moving through this transition later in the panel
Advanced Programs
Running emerging technology programs (SSL, daylighting, controls)
Comprehensive programs (with design strategies)

7. What Has Been Accomplished to Date?
Vision statement
“The working group strives to meet occupant's lighting needs and deliver aggressive lighting energy savings in the U.S. and Canada by supporting comprehensive program approaches that use a combination of traditional technologies, emerging technologies, controls, daylighting and design.”

8. What Has Been Accomplished to Date?
Pilot Programs
A few CEE members have been running comprehensive lighting programs, including
Efficiency Vermont
Massachusetts EEPs
Wisconsin Focus on Energy
Pilot Program Paper details the program design, early successes, and lessons learned
Pilot Program Paper identifies core program elements
Although the paper details other programs, we understand that Northwest members are also piloting programs through NEAA

9. Core Program Elements x MA VT WI
Incorporate existing technologies, emerging technologies, controls and/or daylighting x
Involve lighting designers in each project
Promote whole house/building upgrades (70% of qualified floor area)
Promote to lighting providers and end users
Use non-linear incentive approach
Require baseline assessment of spaces
Set incentives based on performance compared to code
Remember that this is just based on the experience of three programs. It doesn’t necessarily mean that every comprehensive lighting program would have to include all elements. More it would be nice to develop resources to support each, if we think they are important enough.

10. CEE Commercial Lighting Initiative Exploration
Develop lighting Design Templates for building applications
Targeting electrical contractors
Retrofit applications
Starting with
Warehouse
Classroom
Small office

11. CEE Initiative Exploration cont.
Design Templates would
Include performance specifications and design layouts (integrating controls and efficient products)
Be backed by established design practices and existing resources
Be one tool to move toward more comprehensive approaches
But would likely not be sufficient – other pieces would include marketing materials, contractor training, etc.

12. CEE Initiative Exploration – Immediate Next Steps
Complete templates for warehouse space
Flesh out need for contractor training
Compile comprehensive program summary

13. CEE Initiative Exploration -Next Steps
Identify and collect existing data/resources
Develop advanced specifications
Draft expanded/new Initiative
Scope projects to collect needed market research
Begin development of demonstration phase
• Test solutions
• Identify challenges
• Inform savings estimates
Craft messaging and strategy for industry outreach

14. Today’s Panel David Landers, Puget Sound Energy
Vireak Ly, Southern California Edison
Kristen McGill, Crescent Electric Lighting Supply
While there are efforts going on regionally and nationally to support the transition, we’re now going to hear what individuals are doing to go beyond traditional one-for-one programs.
