Grant Description: Electric lighting in US residential and commercial buildings accounts for about 17% of the total energy used and 25% of the electricity consumed in the buildings sector. The Lighting Research and Development (LR D) Program of the BTP seeks to increase end-use efficiency in US buildings by aggressively researching new and evolving lighting technologies in close collaboration with industry, academic and National Laboratory partners. The goal is to develop viable lighting technologies and approaches that have the technical potential to conserve 50% of electric lighting consumption by 2020. Peak load reduction capabilities are also necessary to be responsive to the security needs of the power supply grid. Opportunities exist to greatly reduce the amount of energy used in buildings by delivering light more efficiently to where it is needed, when it is needed and to the extent that it is needed through advanced fixtures, controls and human factors. Luminaires play a significant role in the energy efficiency formula by precisely providing positives such as adequate illuminance levels while minimizing negatives such as glare and distraction. Lighting controls also play an important role by introducing both lighting flexibility and energy management. Technologically advanced sensors and sophisticated user interface controls are important parts of the lighting control system but they are limited to the capabilities of the actuation device such as fluorescent ballast. Improvements of 25% or more in energy savings and/or peak demand reduction are sought in the following categories:
