PIER Lighting
Research Program (PIER LRP)
Lighting R&D/
Codes Scoping Study
Final Report on PIER
LRP Code Connections
 The
Codes and Standards Connections Final Report is the result of a
two year effort that identified existing codes and standards for
lighting energy efficiency around the country with a focus on California
state codes, linkages of the Public Interest Energy Research (PIER)
programs’ Lighting Research Program (LRP) products to existing codes
and standards, opportunities to improve codes and standards through
future PIER research and opportunities to further understanding of
lighting fundamentals through PIER research.
The report identifies successes of the
PIER LRP in the development of devices for the purpose of short-term
energy efficiency improvements, but also identifies the minimal codes
and standards connections of the LRP products due to the nature of the
technologies used, features included in the products, and the
developmental stage of the LRP products.
It provides recommendations for future
PIER lighting energy efficiency programs to include greater coordination
of codes and standards development needs, utility emerging technologies
programs and fundamental lighting research.
