Commercial Lighting Efficiency Resource Book |
[Read More] |
This resource book provides an up-to-date overview of efficient technologies and programs for commercial lighting. It includes extensive reference sources for information on lighting technologies, utility programs, demonstration centers, lighting regulations and codes, educational opportunities, industry associations, and lighting publications.
Lighting and Human Performance |
[Read More] |
To understand the relationship between lighting conditions and human performance, it is first necessary to identify the routes by which lighting conditions can affect human performance. There are three such routes: the visual system, the circadian photobiological system, and the perceptual system. This report updates and replaces an earlier work and explores the relationship between lighting conditions and the ability to carry out tasks in interiors.
Lighting Fundamentals Handbook |
[Read More] |
This comprehensive EPRI handbook provides basic information on lighting principles, lighting equipment, and issues related to lighting design. It is intended as a primer and reference for utility personnel involved in commercial and industrial lighting programs as well as customer assistance.
Advanced Lighting Guidelines |
[Read More] |
The Advanced Lighting Guidelines were first developed in 1991, and updated in 1993 by a partnership of the California Energy Commission (CEC), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and EPRI. These previous editions were used extensively by designers, instructors, and energy policy makers around the world, and were published in several different formats. As new lighting technologies and application information became available, it was apparent that a revision to the Guidelines was needed, and discussions were held with interested parties.
Solid-State Lighting: ASSIST recommends Publications |
[Read More] |
The Alliance for Solid-State Illumination Systems and Technologies (ASSIST) was established in 2002 by the Lighting Research Center to advance the effective use of energy-efficient solid-state lighting and to speed its market acceptance. As collaboration between researchers, manufacturers, and government organizations, ASSIST has the goal to identify and reduce the major technical hurdles currently facing solid-state lighting. ASSIST developed a publication program called ASSIST recommends to provide a set of formal recommendations to the LED and lighting communities about issues important for the reliable performance of LED lighting and its comparison to other light source technologies.
DELTA (Demonstration and Evaluation of Lighting Technologies and Applications) |
[Read More] |
Product Testing and Evaluation
DELTA (Demonstration and Evaluation of Lighting Technologies and Applications) is a program run by the Lighting Research Center to design, evaluate and publicize energy-efficient lighting solutions. The sites selected contain lighting and controls systems that are evaluated for energy use, human response, cost, how well the technologies work and how easy they are to maintain.
National Lighting Product Information Program (NLPIP) |
[Read More] |
Product Testing and Evaluation
The Lighting Research Center’s National Lighting Product Information Program (NLPIP) publishes reports designed to aid facility managers, utilities, lighting designers, engineers and electrical contractors in choosing the right products for the right applications.
Applying Energy-efficient Lighting in New Home Construction |
[Read More] |
Residential Lighting
In this project, the Lighting Research Center minimized the use of recessed incandescent downlights in the demonstration home by using the natural lines of the home and creating coves and valances, making indirect fluorescent lighting the primary ambient source.
Lighting for Older Adults |
[Read More] |
Lighting the Way: A Key to Independence is a three-part series of guidelines for designing lighting for older adults. The Lighting Research Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, through funding from the American Association of Retired Persons Andrus Foundations, developed three guidelines that address the needs of the general public, including older adults and their families, designers and builders, health care professionals.
