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.

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
Lighting in Codes
Energy Efficient Buildings Act (20 ILCS 3125)
• Residentialo 2009 International
Energy Conservation Code (IECC)
• Commercialo Also 2009 IECC
(referencing ASHRAE 90.1-2007)
International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) in Illinois
• “Code” is the latest published edition of the IECC (20 ILCS 3125/10) (currently 2009 edition)
• Applies to all new construction & significant additions, alternations, renovations, or repairs (20 ILCS 3125/20)
• Home rule does not allow less stringent standards to be adopted (20 ILCS 3125/45)
Lighting in Codes
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
Lighting in the 2009 IECC• Commercial Lighting Sec. 505o505.2 Lighting controls
(mandatory)o505.3 Tandem wiring (mandatory)o505.5 Interior lighting power
(prescriptive)o505.6 Exterior lighting (mandatory)
Lighting in Codes
Lighting in Codes
Interior Lighting Power Allowances (W/sq. ft.) (Sec. 505.5)• Each distinct area (contiguous space) has a power value
• Value is (sq. ft. x value in Table 205.5.2) for each areas
• Total connected interior lighting power (Sec 505.5.1) is no greater than sum of all area values to be compliant
Lighting in Codes
Exterior Lighting (Sec. 505.6)• All exterior luminaires >100W must have minimum efficacy of 60 lumens/W
• Total Exterior Power allowances (W/sq. ft.) based on Zones shown in Table 505.6.2(1), power densities shown in Table 505.6.2, and base site allowances shown in Table 505.6.2(2)
Lighting in Codes
Exterior Lighting (Sec. 505.6) (cont)
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
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?
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
• 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

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
Lighting in Efficiency Programs
• 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
SSL R&D Multi-Year Program Plan
SSL Manufacturing R&D Roadmap
Lighting R&D
DOE Commercial Available LED Product Evaluation and Reporting Program
• Testing and benchmarking of Solid State Lighting (SSL) products available on the market
• Reliable, unbiased product performance information needed for market development
Solid State Lighting GATEWAY Demonstrations• In situ showcase and demonstration of
high-performance SSL lighting in commercial and residential applications
• Market-based teams consisting of manufacturer, host site, and an energy efficiency organization or utility
Lighting R&D
e• The “Bright Tomorrow Lighting Prize”• Established by EISA 2007• Challenge to develop LED
replacement for standard A19 60W incandescent and PAR 38 halogen
• Also “21st Century Lamp” with >150 lm/W
• MEEA is field-testing the first candidate in the 60W-replacement category
Lighting R&D
Other DOE solid-state lighting design competitions
Lighting R&D
• Residential lighting design competition
• Winners announced annually at American Lighting Association conference
• Commercial lighting luminaire design competition
• Winners announced annually at Strategies in Lighting conference
Lighting R&D
• DOE EERE is working to bring SSL lighting to market
• There are going to be some very big advances coming
• The future of lighting is being driven by public policy combined with market-based R&D efforts
• Your next building is going to have some really exciting new lighting options
