Emerging Technology Trends Advanced Commercial Lighting Systems: Ubiquitous Sensors + Controls LED Technology Advances Blurring of Behavior + Technology Variable operating modes IoT +/- Consumer Electronics: More to do Natural Gas Market Transformation 3
Ubiquitous Sensors: Lighting example Individual fixture-level control Occupancy, daylight, program scheduled dimming and on-off Fully autonomous Networked communications Real power measurement 50% energy savings 4
LEDs are Here.(yes, I know they have been, but not quite like this.) LED Component Efficacy now at 300 lumens/watt! 60 watt equivalent at 3 watts? Fixture level efficiency at 150 lumens/watt; lifetime: 100k hours High Output: 5 New uses for light:
6 Emerging Technology Trends: LED Lighting
Advanced Lighting Implications: System level energy usage at 75% less than today s levels practical (~0.25 w/ft2 equivalent) Independent power measurement and networked communications - pay for performance/ DR capability for very low cost New uses of lighting where we had none before may increase energy use Choose carefully: System lifetimes of 15-30 years 7
Blurring of Technology and Behavior Everything is variable New operational choices Behavioral interactivity From anywhere. 8
IoT: Internet of Things: EE +; EE- Things to consider. Pros: Distributed Control Granular sensing Big data analytics Cons: Standby power Re-programming Privacy/Security Relocation vs. reduction 9
Variable/Dynamic Operating Modes Multiple operating modes WiFi connectivity offers dynamic reprogramming Smart operation second-guessing user needs. 10
Implications of Behavioral Interactivity How do you measure savings? How do you help customers maximize the value from their products? How could utility programs help customers manage energy as a service? 11
