 About
This E3T Technical Advisory Group is focused on a single technology group, Advanced Lighting Control Systems.
The main goal of this FlashTAG is to help Bonneville Power Administration utility programs staff prepare to administer a new controls incentive readied for the next version of their lighting calculator. Specifically, we will:
  1. Help determine what information and level of detail should be required in reports to qualify for the incentive.
  2. Prepare a list of companies and systems that will do what is needed, including tracking actual energy use.
  3. Consider the pros and cons of pre-qualifying companies.
  4. Gather accounts of actual experience with these control systems.

These technologies are being reviewed as part of this FlashTAG. Each is linked to its entry in the E3TNW.org database.

  • 117: Advanced Lighting Control Systems (ALCS) for Indoor Commercial Applications, including Wireless
  • 225: Lighting Controls for Outdoor Lighting
  • 279: LED High-Bay with Wireless Control
  • 424: Remote DC Power Supply and Control for LED Lighting

Or you can use this link to see all of the technologies being reviewed at once.

Advanced Lighting Control Systems Technology Surveys - Wednesday, April 24, 2013

 

TAG Scorecard Survey Links
All TAG members are asked to rate these technologies using the SurveyMonkey links below.

The five questions are standard for this survey, the TAG Scorecard. In the debrief discussion following the April 17 presentation, a TAG member noted that the first question refers to “savings per unit.” You may ignore the per unit reference, in that ALCS will not have uniform KWh savings associated with them. We especially value your comments  associated with the individual questions and technologies, so don’t hold back.

 TAG Scorecard Survey Deadline

Please complete these surveys by the end of next week, Friday April 26 at 5pm, to allow us to compile and distribute results in advance of the May 2 webinar.
