Introductory
As efficacy reaches the theoretical limit, carbon footprint reduction from energy savings is also topping out. We are now looking at dematerialization and design for disassembly as trends, as well as embracing more sustainable materials in the luminaires. Control systems also help to whittle away at the kWh. Declare and the efforts of LBC/LPC are also providing details on the origin of our luminaire to help designers and owners understand the impacts of the luminaires on a project. What’s next?
Learning Objectives
- Upon completion, participants will be able to differentiate the operational energy savings from a luminaire from the carbon cost of its materials.
- Upon completion, participants will be able to inform their clients of certification and incentive tools to promote sustainable luminaires.
- Upon completion, participants will have an understanding of the barriers to and potential for reducing the carbon cost of luminaires.
- Upon completion, participants will be able to evaluate the cradle to cradle life cycle of luminaires.
