LD+A Research Matters: Adaptive Lighting for Retail Environments

08/03/2015

The retail sector, which represents 13 percent of California's commercial lighting electricity use, has historically not embraced the use of lighting controls.  Reasons for this are many including perceived high cost, system complexity, and the potential for negative impacts on customers and sales.  California building lighting energy efficiency standards for the retail sector have a higher lighting power density allowance and fewer requirements for mandatory controls in sales areas than other commercial and industrial building space types.

CA IOU Program: Program Overview for Manufacturers

Evaluation of High Efficiency Lighting for New California Homes

06/19/2015

Current Title 24 Building code requirements call for use of high-efficacy lighting in a limited number of residential space types. Builders are allowed to install low efficacy lighting if they also install dimming controls. However, significant load reduction and energy savings over current code-compliant designs can be achieved through the use of All High-Efficacy (AHE) lighting design practices.

Saving Energy in Buildings with Adaptive Lighting Systems: Solutions for the Retail Sector

06/15/2015

The retail sector, which represents 13 percent of California’s lighting electricity use, has historically not embraced the use of lighting controls to save energy. California regulators have responded to retailer’s concerns that lighting controls and lighting power density restrictions may have a negative impact on sales and customers. Currently, building lighting energy-efficiency standards for the retail sector are less stringent than regulations imposed on other commercial space types.
