The document discusses recent policies and standards that have improved lighting efficiency, including the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, codes like the International Energy Conservation Code, and utility efficiency programs. It also outlines research and development efforts to advance solid state lighting technologies that could provide even greater energy savings. Overall, the standards and programs mean facilities managers will need to adopt more efficient lighting options in new construction and retrofits.

2. The Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (MEEA) (www.mwalliance.org) is a collaborative network advancing energy efficiency in the Midwest to support sustainable economic development and environmental preservation. About MEEA MEEA promotes the market transformation of energy efficiency technologies, processes and best practices within a 13-state area, through policy advocacy, program design and facilitation and piloting of energy technologies. MEEA is bridging the gap between policy adoption and program implementation.

11. Lighting Standards So what does that all really mean for a Facilities Manager? You’re going to get more efficient just by changing out your light bulbs (whether you are trying or not) You’re not going to be able to buy exact replacements for inefficient products, which in some cases will mean updating whole fixtures The “low hanging fruit” in lighting savings is going to get a little further away

13. International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) in Illinois Capital Development Board must adopt Code within 9 mo of publication, to take effect 3 mo after adoption. (20 ILCS 3125/20) IECC is updated on a 3-year cycle (next in 2012) Voting members of Int’l Code Council are state, county, and municipal code officials ONLY Non-voting members, who can propose and debate changes, are a broad spectrum of builders, code officials, advocates, building science experts, etc. Lighting in Codes

22. Lighting in Codes Lighting Power Densities are the biggest area of ongoing discussion with regard to the lighting aspects of the code & revisions to the 2012 version

23. Lighting in Codes New buildings or significant renovations & retrofits are going to have more stringent requirements for use of high-efficiency lighting than old existing buildings Periodic (3-yr) code cycle may cause changes to be aware of when planning for renovating/ retrofitting spaces or building new So what does that all really mean for a Facilities Manager?

24. Energy Efficiency Resource Standards Established by Illinois Power Agency Act(PA 095-0481 – electricity; PA 096-0033 – natural gas) Requires utilities to meet part of energy needs with efficiency rather than supplied energy 2.0% of electricity by 2015; 1.5% of natural gas by 2019 Lighting in Efficiency Programs

25. Lighting accounts for 80-85% of C&I programs in ComEd territory High performance T8 fluorescents have annual saving potential of 16.5 TWh annually in U.S. 35-50% savings over traditional fl. tubes Other C&I efficiency measures are starting to fall off because of tighter standards for other appliances that have already gone into effect Lighting in Efficiency Programs Sources: ComEd (pers. comm.), Consortium for Energy Efficiency

26. Lighting in Efficiency Programs So what does that all really mean for a Facilities Manager? Utilities are going to continue to offer lighting programs to commercial and industrial facilities as a major portion of their efficiency portfolios New programs and incentives will continue to promote changeover to high-efficiency lighting for C&I customers

27. R&D Program authorized under EISA 2007; Title III; Subtitle B; Sec. 321(g) Authorized appropriations of $10,000,000 each fiscal year 2008-2013 Support research, development, demonstration, and commercial application AND assist manufacturers in meeting the efficiency standard requirements imposed in subsection (a) Lighting R&D
