6
Recent U.S. Federal Legislation Affecting
Outdoor Lighting
  • The Energy Policy Act of
  • 2005 (EPAct 2005)
  • The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007
    (EISA 2007)

7
Energy Policy Act of 2005
  • Mercury Vapor Lamp Ballasts
  • For general illumination applications may not be
    manufactured or imported, effective January 1,
    2008
  • In 2005, a notice in the Federal Register
    clarified that this also includes luminaires
    containing such ballasts
  • 2007 legislation provides for continued use in
    specialty applications provided the ballast is
    marked Not for general illumination and
    identifies the specialty application

8
Energy Independence andSecurity Act (EISA) of
2007
  • Metal Halide Fixtures
  • Metal halide lamp fixtures operated with lamps
    150W but 500W shall contain one of the
    following
  • A pulse-start metal halide ballast with a minimum
    ballast efficiency of 88 or
  • A magnetic probe-start ballast with a minimum
    ballast efficiency of 94 or
  • A non-pulse-start electronic ballasts with
  • A minimum ballast efficiency of 92 for wattages
    gt 250
  • A minimum ballast efficiency of 90 for wattages
    250W

9
EISA Metal Halide Fixtures
  • Exclusions
  • Fixture with regulated lag ballasts
  • Fixtures with electronic ballasts to operate at
    480V
  • Fixtures that
  • Are only rated for 150W lamps and
  • Are rated for use in wet locations and
  • Contain a ballast that is rated to operate at
    ambient air temperatures above 50C
  • Effective Date
  • Applies to fixtures manufactured on or after
    January 1, 2009
  • State laws with earlier effective dates remained
    in effect until the Federal standards became
    effective

10
Market Characterization
  • Current Outdoor Lighting Market
  • High Intensity Discharge (HID) - 86.8
  • Street and Roadway Lighting
  • Mercury Vapor-20
  • High Pressure Sodium-52.3
  • Low Pressure Sodium-5
  • Downtown Cities and Parking Lots
  • Metal Halide-9.5
  • Incandescent -11.2
  • Fluorescent -1.9
  • Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)-0.01
  • New technology--some pilot projects
  • Data from U.S. Lighting Market Characterization,
    Navigant Consulting 2002

11
2009 Federal Energy Legislation
  • NEMA Approach for Outdoor Lighting
  • New building construction and major renovations
  • Adopt and enforce most current version of
    ASHRAE/IES 90.1
  • Funding to states to implement and improve energy
    codes
  • Existing building outdoor lighting
  • Tax incentives for building outdoor lighting
    replacement and upgraded to meet ASHRAE/IES 90.1
    - 2007
  • Street and roadway lighting
  • Set lumens per watt (LPW) standard based on
    applications, promote use of controls, and direct
    DOE to conduct rulemaking to update Federal
    standards

12
House and Senate Bills
  • Setting federal energy efficiency standards for
    outdoor and roadway lighting luminaires
  • H.R. 2454 (Waxman-Markey, ACESA 2009)
  • Section 211 Outdoor Lighting Standards
    modified H.R. 1732 (Harman-Upton)
  • S. 1462
  • Senate vehicle
  • NEMA testified in favor of including ODL

13
House Legislation Section 211 (a)
  • Outdoor Luminaires
  • Manufactured on or after January 1, 2016 shall
  • have initial luminaire efficacy 50 LPW, and
  • use light source with lumen maintenance 0.6
  • have capability of producing at least 2 different
    light levels, including 100 and 60 of full lamp
    output
  • outdoor luminaries used for roadway lighting
    exempt from control requirements
  • Manufactured on or after January 1, 2018, shall
  • have an initial luminaire efficacy 70 LPW, and
  • use a light source with a lumen maintenance 0.6
  • Not later than January 1, 2022, DOE issues final
    rule amending standards (if technologically
    feasible and economically justified)
  • for products manufactured on or after January 1,
    2025 or the date of final rule plus one year,
    whichever is later

14
House Legislation Section 211 (a)
  • Outdoor high light output lamps
  • Each outdoor high light output lamp manufactured
    on or after January 1, 2017, shall have a
    lighting efficiency of at least 45 lumens per
    watt

15
Senate Bill
  • NEMA involved in intensive, multi-month
    negotiations on outdoor lighting provisions
  • Set efficiency levels on a Task LPW approach
    taking into account application issues
  • Area, roadway and high-mast
  • Decorative post-top and dusk-to-dawn
  • Include some control requirements
  • IES illumination levels
  • Provide tax incentives
  • Effective date of new standards
  • Provide for DOE to do follow-on rulemakings

16
Outlook and Prognosis
  • House and Senate legislation part of broad effort
    on energy and climate change
  • H.R. 2454 passed June 26
  • S. 1462 could be considered this fall
  • S. 1733 Kerry-Boxer climate change provisions
  • Once Senate acts, House and Senate bills must be
    conferenced and a consensus bill approved
