1. AK LED is allowed under a low lifecycle cost approach.

No comprehensive conversion. No No No

2. AL LED for conventional and high mast poles. No, just designing all future projects with LED. No No Not Applicable

3. AR Yes, we have moved to using LED on new Roadway Lighting projects. The poles types are conventional and high mast.

No. We have not programed a project to upgrade Roadway lighting to LED. We have completed two statewide projects to update all incandescent signal lamps to LED working with Arkansas Energy Office.

No No. To date, we have not provided a remote Lighting Control systems for Roadway lights.

4. AZ ADOT is evaluating LED luminaires for pole, high-mast, and tunnel lighting. LED illumination is under test at several locations on the state highway system, and LED retrofits are underway at one tunnel (Queen Creek) and planned for another tunnel (Mule Pass).

Current ADOT lighting inventory is predominantly HPS. No conversion yet except in limited spot locations. ADOT currently only has a standard specification for conventional pole lighting. ADOT used luminaires with lower (3000 degrees K) color rendering at locations where the road was in close proximity to astronomical observatories.

ADOT may be looking into a public-private partnership to replace luminaires systemwide, or by facility (such as the I-10 Deck Park Tunnel, which alone comprises a notable percentage of ADOT's energy use budget). Don't know if ESCO has been a party to those discussions. I'm copying Karim Rashid (signals and lighting operations engineer) and Mark Poppe (systems maintenance engineer) for their input.

ADOT is testing two Lighting Controls systems. The City of Tuscon is in the process of implementing city-wide Lighting Controls.

5. CT For Lighting retrofit applications: We retrofit existing HID to LED type fixtures when and where minimum recommended light levels and uniformity ratios can be achieved. For New lighting system designs: We prepare designs that specify conventional poles. The spacing between poles and fixtures mounting heights are designed in order to achieve minimum recommended light levels and uniformity ratios. Connecticut has a very limited amount of high mast lighting. We plan to retrofit existing high mast HID lights withLED high mast lights within future highway lighting improvement projects. Connecticut does not maintain sign lighting.

CTDOT is in the process of converting to LED type roadway lighting but only when and where we are able to determine that LED lights will be able to achieve minimum recommended light levels and uniformity ratios. The first LED fixtures had a few surge suppressors blow. That problem has been addressed and there have been no other negative consequences since.

CTDOT has not engaged the services of an Energy Service Company (ESCO)/contractor for luminaire replacement.

CTDOT lighting systems are typically limited to master photocell control for roadway lighting systems.

first in a parking lot and more recently at select other locations, varying from small intersections to the Dover Toll plaza (stadium style lighting) as well as at least one high mast installation. We are in the process of finalizing a report that compares HPS to LED and reviews life-cycle costs. Potentially (likely?) we will adopt LED as our standard sometime after the report is finalized.

7. ID Idaho currently installs LED luminaires for all roadway lighting applications: 40’-50’ poles, high mast, sign and tunnel lighting.

Yes, Idaho has been installing LED luminaires on all roadway construction projects that contain lighting for the last 4 years as well as retrofitting existing lighting installations through a combination of construction projects and maintenance forces. Feedback has been positive, there have been no negative consequences to this point.

We have not used the ESCO model for our conversion.

We are in the process of installing our first lighting control system at an interchange; this system is not being installed through an ESCO contract. The project should be finished the end of October, I will have more feedback then.

You can contact Ethan Griffiths 208-334-8239 for more information.

8. IL Yes, IDOT is installing LED roadway luminaires. So far LED luminaires have only been deployed on a few projects so a limited number are installed and they are all horizontal mount (cobraheads). A small high mast project is being designed.

IDOT is currently considering that possibility. A Request for Information is being prepared so our process is only at the beginning.

A pilot project with 127 LED luminaires and a lighting control system is in construction and should be operational next year. The Request for Information will investigate the possibility of adding lighting controls as part of the conversion.

9. IN We have been demoing new lighting technologies at 9 or 10 test sites and we have opened up our construction specifications to allow these technologies. The first installations under the normal construction process will occur soon. [The technology is] primarily LED but also some plasma and metal halide for both towers and conventional poles. To date we have not tested underpass; INDOT no longer provides sign lighting.

No, not yet but we are considering as a potential P3 initiative.

No, but we may if the P3 initiative goes through.

No, although our specifications require photocell receptacles in case we decide to do so in the future.

10. IA We are using LED for all new lighting being installed except high mast.

It is in the planning stages, expect to start replacing existing lights with LED in the year.

No No

11. KS KDOT is currently using LED lighting as a part of new construction, and retrofitting (where requested) HMT, and Conventional lighting. We sponsored a report done by the University of Kansas Professor, Hongyi Cai, Ph.D., that produced the obvious cost savings (maintenance/energy) in LED lighting. The Manual can be found here: http://www.ksdot.org/Assets/wwwksdotorg/bureaus/kdotlib/KU156.pdf

We have not started a comprehensive conversion, and LED is installed only at the request of the districts, however, it is my intention to make a push to utilize this technology. There has been no negative response or consequence at this time.

To my knowledge, an ESCO contractor has never been used.

KDOT has not used a control system as of yet.

N/A

12. KY We are using LED fixtures for new installations of both high-mast and conventional lighting. We are using a 4000K fixture for conventional and 5000K for high-mast (specifications attached).

We have yet to schedule a comprehensive conversion of existing installations.

We just initiated a two-year research project on LED-lighting that will include the development of a business case for a future ESCO contract. We had a similar project for LED retrofit of traffic signal displays almost a decade ago.

We have two installations with lighting control systems. They are both Roam from Holophane. We do not have much experience with the systems. One is installed on a relatively new LED system. The other is installed on an older high-pressure sodium installation, so there is limited opportunity/need for the control system.

n/a

13. LA Yes, for conventional poles (low mount), and for high mast poles. The projects are under construction and no in-use date is available.

No. LED lighting is still an emerging technology. The negative and unintended consequences are not fully known. Example: Our spec limits color temperature to 4000 Kelvin and we are considering lowering that to 3000 Kelvin. Not enough data in yet to initiate the change. I would not want a wholesale implementation at 4000 until further data and experience are available.

no We have had inquiries about control systems mostly for the purpose of maintenance tracking. None of the owners are too eager about turning any lights off.

Louisiana does not own or operate interstate or state highway lighting. If an owner is interested in advanced lighting controllers or lighting maintenance systems we would be as helpful as we can with installing such systems for them. The legal issues with occasionally turning some lights off or dimming them below standard illumination values are not settled as far as I can tell. On the other hand the value of a luminaire maintenance package that reports which lights are out and how many hours each has been on would probably pay for itself. Although I have not

The choice of any such system is left up to the owner and no particular system is mandated by Louisiana. We are not prepared to mandate any proprietary systems.

14. MA The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is utilizing Light Emitting Diode(LED) Technology for all Roadway Lighting projects. Applications include 40’ – 50’ Lighting poles as well as High Mast Lighting Poles.

At this time MassDOT has not begun a comprehensive conversion to LED Lighting Technology.

MassDOT has not utilized an ESCO Contractor for Luminaire replacement.

MassDOT has not utilized a Lighting Controls System.

15. ME Yes. Conventional and high mast Yes. We have had a lot of failures of new LED devices. While they are under warranty, this was done under a procurement contract, so our staff spent significant time replacing the replacements. Most of our issues are happening where we have electrical services are 480 volts. The drivers were having issues with voltage deviations at the higher voltages. Significantly less problems at 240.

No No

16. MI Yes, AASHTO Roadway Lighting Design Guide, All Exterior Roadway Lighting.

Yes, no No No, not cost effective for roadway lighting

17. MN MnDOT is now using LED luminaires as a standard. We have an LED replacement luminaire for our 400W HPS, 250W HPS, and underpass luminaires. We are working on getting an LED replacement for our high mast systems. We are getting very close to having an LED luminaire that can meet the same light levels at the inplace spacing as our HPS high mast luminaires. MnDOT does very little sign lighting. We will have to find an LED luminaires for that use, but it has not been high priority at this time.

MnDOT has been doing a significant change out of HPS luminaires to LED luminaires. We have not had any major negative consequences, but as with anything new we have found a few things that need to be addressed. By the end of 2016 our Metro District, which has approximately 2/3 of our luminaires, will be changed to LED. Our Greater Minnesota districts should be around 50% or more changed out by the end of the year.

MnDOT has not used an ESCO contractor for our luminaire replacement. I believe that one of our districts did use an ESCO to make efficiency changes to our building systems. I could find a contact if you are interested in their experience with an ESCO in that scenario.

MnDOT has not used a lighting control system to date, however our Metro District is installing a few systems to test. All except our original LED luminaires do have the 7 pin connectors and dimmable drivers so they could be changed in the future, but I do not anticipate that we will make a widespread move to controls any time soon.

projects; this is currently in the plan development stage.

20. NC Starting on January 2015, NCDOT started using LED luminaires for roadway lighting design work. These include cobrahead style luminaires for single-arm, twin-arm, high mast luminaires and underpass lighting luminaires.

NCDOT is in the process of signing an Energy Service Agreement with Brady Trane as part of the Guaranteed Energy Savings Performance Contracting project. The LED lighting equipment upgrade construction work is anticipated to start July 2017, and it will last approximately 16-months.

NCDOT has engaged with Brady-Trane as the ESCO contractor for the statewide LED upgrade. The Investment Grade Audit for the project is currently under the review by NCDOT stakeholders, and NCDOT’s Third Party consultant (Celtic Energy). Our experience is mixed partly because one of the major goals in our energy savings project is to catch up deferred statewide lighting maintenance. NCDOT/Brady has set aside a separate funding amount within the project for the statewide lighting deferred maintenance, but this amount is an estimate and it may not address all the needs. The other important issue is the routine maintenance of the lighting systems within the duration of the project that has not yet been determined.

NCDOT/Brady has just completed proof of concepts for the CIMCON lighting control system. The functionality of the CIMCON control system is satisfactory as they will provide basic monitor and control functions. Most likely, CIMCON controls will be implemented with the project, as an alternate lighting control system is not available for evaluation at the present time.

21. NE The Nebraska Department of Roads is not presently using LED or other energy-efficient lighting technologies on Nebraska’s highway system. We are currently in our final phase of putting together our LED Specifications and LED Lighting Manual but have yet to begin the process of determining which LED Luminaires will be on our approved products list. We are planning on utilizing the LED technology for applications on conventional roadway poles and rest area lighting at this time and foresee the use on high-mast applications as soon as determinations can be made and the technology advances more.

No. At this time we are not planning on a comprehensive conversion but will be adding the technology with new projects and as replacements for failed units.

No, we have had no contact with ESCO.

No.

22. NH I’m not responsible for lighting; however, I don’t believe we have undertaken a comprehensive conversion of existing luminaires. I do believe that we have used more energy efficient luminaires in some locations.

23. NJ NJ is using LED for conventional highway lighting and high mast lighting on a project by project test basis. We have switched to LED for most new overhead sign panel lighting.

No No No

24. NM Yes, we are using LED for roadway lighting, high mast.

No conversion attempt. We will specify LED for all new projects.

No No No

25. NY LEDs. Depends on the region. Some are installing high mast lighting on new installs. I’ve heard LED’s are being installed on new roadway construction but have not read the details. Retrofits have not taken place on any large scale, just individual municipalities but no retrofits from the DOT side have been implemented.

No, we are currently evaluating how best to standardize conversion and thereafter tariff agreements with utilities so that luminaires can remain utility owned and maintained. A joint project between multiple agencies is being implemented on Central Avenue in Albany NY in the Village of Colonie in partnership with NYSERDA, and other agencies with leadership by RPI’s Lighting Research Center and Creighton Manning Engineering. Next steps are luminaire selection for public evaluation and then installation on the roadway based on public feedback. After installation, public feedback will be taken for 1 year prior to closing the project and then report out. Study website is available here: https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/technical-services/trans-r-and-d-repository/C-14-12-Final%20Report_June%202015.pdf

26. PA PennDOT has begun using LED luminaires for conventional poles. In the near future PennDOT will be implementing high mast, sign lighting, and wall pack luminaires that use LED.

At this time, implementation is on a project-by-project basis.

PennDOT has not engaged the services of an ESCO contractor for any replacement. PennDOT was contacted by ESCO type groups as part of a potential public-private-partnership, however at that time the effort was deemed to not be beneficial long term for PennDOT.

Future projects will be required to utilize a remote monitoring and control system. PennDOT has one pilot interchange that uses this type of system, and this system has been useful in reporting a large outage that occurred when a new guide rail post struck a conduit. Additionally, this system has been useful in documenting the energy consumption and burn hours of LED luminaires that were installed, helping to show the

No No No No

28. TN Tennessee is just beginning to revise our lighting specs and we have deployed one interchange improvement with LEDs.

29. VA VDOT has developed standard special provisions for LED lighting for conventional light poles, underbridge lights, and high mast light poles. To date we do not have special provisions for tunnel lights or for sign lighting. (With sign lighting, one concern is how to determine appropriate luminaire spacing and output depending on sheeting type.) Most VDOT Districts are installing LEDs for construction projects involving new lighting poles. VDOT’s specifications were based in part on this research conducted by Virginia Tech Transportation Institute for VDOT:

Not at this time. See response to question #3. Yes. VDOT initially selected an ESCO contractor (Trane) to audit building energy usage, however this effort has morphed into focusing on roadway lighting. VDOT is in discussions with the contractor to do comprehensive statewide replacement of all conventional pole, offset pole, underbridge, and high mast light pole luminaires. At this point Trane has completed an inventory of existing luminaires and VDOT is evaluating the modeled long-term energy savings and implementation parameters. Some key challenges include existing locations with deferred maintenance issues (electrical shorts, pole structural deficiencies) and meeting current illumination standards whenever possible given the existing pole spacing/height/location. Many of VDOT’s lights were installed decades ago and may not meet current IESNA requirements, including existing offset lights with tilted luminaires.

Currently VDOT is undertaking small-scale in-house testing/evaluation of Lighting Controls systems. The ESCO contractor has proposed incorporating Lighting Controls into their contract, due in part to the additional energy savings that may be possible with such systems in place.

32. WV Yes, we have been using LED lighting technology for several years for new luminaires. We now require the utilization of LED luminaires for pole, high-mast, navigation, wall-pack, tunnel and sign lighting.

Yes, we have taken initiative to convert all existing HPS high-mast luminaires to LED luminaires. We recently completed phase 1 of a 3 phase LED Lighting conversation. The phase 1 conversation included the replacement of 620 HPS high mast fixtures with first generation LED fixtures (Holophane). We received positive public response to this project. We are continuing with phase 2 of the LED lighting conversation.

LED Roadway Lighting Reform ProgramLuminaire highway lighting The Washington State Department of Transportation is replacing several luminaries in Thurston, Island, King, Snohomish, Skagit, Thurston and Whatcom counties with new, energy-efficient light-emitting-diode (LED) luminaires. In addition, some lights will be removed as part of an overall new approach to lighting highways. The estimated $4.6 million project provides significant financial, maintenance and environmental efficiency savings through the use of innovative project delivery, financing and contracting tools. By leveraging utility savings along with grants, utility rebates and capital dollars, this project will be funded within existing operating budgets.

This new approach has several benefits:• Reduced energy bills• Reduced maintenance needs and costs, allowing money to be directed to other priority activities• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions• Ability to remotely adjust lighting levels (in Olympia area) depending on conditions

A new approach to lightingAfter several years of research on the benefits of lighting and its connection to crash reduction, WSDOT has adjusted its approach to lighting, in essence rethinking why we light. This new way to look at lighting focused on lighting’s actual role in crash reduction.

WSDOT researchers and nationally renowned safety research professionals from Penn State University developed models and used tools that incorporate human behavior research and site specific criteria. This research has been presented to multiple audiences regionally, nationally and internationally. The full report was published this spring and is available upon request. While some lighting may be reduced, other areas such as limited access roadway exits and entrances, pedestrian crossing and tunnels remain lighting priorities.

The Statewide LED Roadway Lighting Conversion and Removal project will convert 1,974 existing lights to LED technology. In addition, 505 lights will be removed from the highway system. Locations were determined using the new research and lighting standards.

Lighting costsWSDOT spends close to $3.8 million statewide each year on roadway lighting utility costs.The annual life cycle preservation replacement budget is $3 million with an additional unfunded need of $5 million. Given the significant life cycle costs of existing and expanding roadway lighting systems, WSDOT began investigating new, cost-effective methods of lighting, including LED and adaptive lighting control systems.

WSDOT is using the state’s Energy Saving Performance Contracting process through the Department of

PROJECT COST SAVINGS ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITSIN ONE YEAR, THE NEW LIGHTING SYSTEM WILL:• Reduce annual energy usage by 2.6

Enterprise Services for this project. By leveraging utility savings along with state and federal grants, utility rebates and a certificate of participation this project will be funded within existing resources. The projected annual savings will be greater than the debt service payments.

Adaptive Lighting ControlMotorists on US 101 near Olympia have already experienced this remote way to control lighting based on conditions and time of day. Functioning like a high-tech dimmer switch, the system lets operators optimize roadway lighting by decreasing or increasing the number of lights providing lighting only when needed.

Started as a pilot project in April 2013, the system realized energy savings of more than 68 percent along with a projected 15-year utility and preventative maintenance

savings of $345,000.

The Statewide LED Lighting Conversion and Removal project will expand this system to lights along I-5 in Lacey, Tumwater and Olympia in Thurston County. The new lights added in other counties will have the capability to add adaptive lighting control at a later date.

SafetySafety remains our top priority as an agency and these lighting decisions were made with that in mind. The LED lights to be installed provide a whiter light that improves visibility for drivers. The adaptive control technology (see below) also allows crews to remotely dim or change lighting as conditions warrant.

WSDOT and Penn State University lighting research are using a risk-based approach to:• Optimize roadway lighting to the fullest extent possible without significant impact to crashes and mobility

• Convert remaining roadway lights to high efficiency LED technology while monitoring driver response.

In addition to comprehensive research, each affected area in Washington was individually evaluated by regional crews to identify any special needs. Adjustments to lighting plans were made accordingly to take into account pedestrian, driver and community needs.

Work starts: Spring 2016

Work complete: Spring 2017

Progress Report

Submitted by:

John D. Bullough, Ph.D.

Lighting Research Center (LRC), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

A. Project Title:

LED Roadway Lighting Benefits and Costs Collaboration

B. Agreement Number:

C-15-08 (NYSERDA Agreement 83173)

C. Date of Report:

September 8, 2016 (for August 2016)

D. Progress Report

Project team members from the Lighting Research Center and Creighton Manning

completed simulations of roadway segments and intersections along Central Avenue

(see appended pages) and met with representatives from the Town and Village of

Colonie, National Grid, Capital District Transportation Committee at Village Hall to share

results. In order to achieve the desired increase in light levels for safety, energy savings

as large as those built into existing National Grid tariffs are not practical, but energy

savings on the order of 20%-30% may be feasible while increasing the light levels on

the roadway. Consensus emerged that the focus should continue to be on safety. LRC

project team members will develop an online survey mechanism to be shared with the

Village and Town in order to obtain feedback on existing lighting conditions and team

members will work to obtain sample luminaires to compare white-color options (e.g.,

3000 K versus 4000 K for correlated color temperature) for an evaluation demonstration

in the fall.

E. Identification of Problems

None.

F. Planned Progress Next Period

Subsequent photometric analyses will focus on the most promising luminaires from

those evaluated, with options for distribution types to ensure sufficient illumination in

sidewalks and in intersections. National Grid will provide additional information about

the locations and types of lights along Central Avenue, as well as information about the

LED luminaires currently planned to meet the existing utility-owned street lighting tariff.

G. Schedule

H. Costs

Costs are reflected in invoice(s) from Rensselaer to NYSERDA.
