CLTC is excited to announce that the University of California, California State University, California Community Colleges and California State Department of General Services just released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Phase 2 of the Million LED Challenge!
The University of California, Davis, seeks an accomplished Architect, Lighting Designer or Academic with experience in energy-efficient lighting or daylighting design to lead the UC Davis California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC) and teach lighting design classes as faculty director. The Director will be appointed as a tenured Associate or Full Professor within the Department of Design, College of Letters and Science. The Director will also hold the prestigious Arthur H. Rosenfeld Chair in Energy Efficiency.
The California Lighting Technology Center and the California Energy Commission hosted a webinar focused on research outcomes from our recent EPIC-sponsored project, A New Generation of LED Lighting Systems!
The webinar focused on four key areas:
UC Davis Chancellor Gary S. May and his wife, LeShelle, recently switched the light bulbs in the Chancellor's residence to LEDs as part of the University of California Million LED Challenge.
The University of California is spearheading a statewide effort to advance the purchase of 1 million high-quality, energy-efficient light bulbs for campus buildings and residences across the state. Under the program, all UC students, staff, faculty and alumni can purchase light bulbs at nearly half the price of online competitors.
