Webcast: Solid-State Street Lighting Consortium Model Specification For LED Roadway Luminaires
November 6, 2011
On November 15, 2011, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will host a 90-minute live webcast on the Model Specification for LED Roadway Luminaires developed by DOE’s Municipal Solid-State Street Lighting Consortium.
Streetlights rank among the biggest fixed costs for cities. The estimated 35 million streetlights in the U.S. consume as much electricity each year as 3.9 million households, and generate greenhouse gas emissions equal to that produced by 8 million cars.
In this webcast, Jason Tuenge of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will provide an overview of the model specification and explain how it can be customized to meet the particular needs of each municipality or utility in order to help them put together effective bid documents for LED street lighting products. The webcast will be moderated by Consortium Director Edward Smalley of Seattle City Light.
The webcast will begin promptly at 1:00 p.m. ET and will include a 60-minute presentation, followed by a 30-minute question-and-answer session with attendees.
