LED fixtures and Integrated Controls for Advanced Holistic Lighting Solutions
Abstract
The availability of LED fixtures with integrated sensors and embedded controls is relatively new and not implemented at scale in DoD facilities. The increased use of LED lighting, with the addition of integrated controls, will help DoD reduce energy use and energy costs. The goal of this project was to demonstrate, and accelerate the deployment of, an innovative holistic lighting retrofit system in DoD facilities. The project evaluated the demonstrated lighting system in terms of the installation and commissioning process, measured energy and demand savings, light levels, installed cost, system economics, and occupant satisfaction. The project results showed 69% lighting energy savings and 70% peak demand savings. Light levels were brought into closer agreement with UFC recommendations. Occupant, installer and facility staff satisfaction with the system was high. The main barrier to further adoption is the relatively high cost and associated economics (~20 year payback). However, a trend in decreasing system costs will help.
