Pathways to Connected Lighting
This playbook helps utilities and other energy efficiency program administrators meet their energy savings goals with networked lighting controls (NLC) and integrating controls with HVAC.
DLC Technical Reference Manual Report and Work Paper
The report explores the prevalence of Technical Reference Manuals (TRMs), the extent to which interior networked lighting control (NLC) and luminaire-level lighting control (LLLC) measures are incorporated, and the significant variations in key assumptions across different jurisdictions. The work paper outlines calculations, controlled wattage recommendations, control savings factor (CSF) values, measure life values, and more.
