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
20 - 30% 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
Photopic versus Scotopic Vision
Thanks: City of Oakland and PG&E
Adaptive Lighting Controls
•
•
Thanks: Encelium
•
•
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
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
•
•
•
•
•
Thanks: Hadco
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
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
LightSavers—Initial Event
•
•
•
LEDiscovey 2-day event held in
Toronto, March 25-26
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
