What is Energy Trust of Oregon? • Independent nonprofit organization • Efficiency and renewable program delivery for Investor Owned

utility electric customers in Oregon- roughly 70% of state electric load.

• Serves customers of Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, NW Natural and Cascade Natural Gas in Oregon & customers of NW Natural in Washington

• Helps keep energy costs as low as possible, creates jobs and builds a sustainable energy future

My role: Director of Planning and Evaluation •Includes aspects of emerging tech and strategic direction

Our Approach to LEDs • LED is not the next CFL- A series of products for

specific market niches • Our goals:

• Advance usefulness, cost, and efficiency • Cost-effectiveness to utility system and society • Consumer value for their investment- today

• Energy Trust relies on testing and rating from Feds, manufacturers, NEEA.

• Often start support as custom incentives; move to prescriptive when we are confident

Our Approach to LEDs We Incent LEDs with these features: • Reliable- tested, rated, good results • Total resource cost test B/C >1 soon, or within 150%

of the cost of incumbent technology. - Some products are “there” now. - Some need to come down 50% in cost and

increase lumens. - Some are poorly conceived or designed products

• Prefer availability from multiple manufacturers. • Clear, stable local supply chain- avoid “hit and run”

Our Approach to LEDs • Approve niches (e.g., refrigerated warehouse

lighting) based on cost-effectiveness tests • Reference Lighting Facts, ENERGY STAR,

Designlights, and Lighting Design Lab lists. • Analyze against next best technology for the

niche- it has to save “more” to justify the cost. • Compare to incandescent lamp where customers

find fluorescent unacceptable. • Compare to fluorescent where it is commonplace.

Rollout History

Phase I (2010) • Recessed downlight fixtures for home and business. Phase II (2011) • Screw in LEDs for commercial (quasi-

prescriptive)- most go to difficult access, display, other applications where LED has advantage over CFL.

• Freezer case lights

Phase III (2012)

• Outdoor non-street lighting (custom). Efficient competition is mostly electronically ballasted metal halide or T5HO, almost as expensive, so LED can be cost-effective. • Canopies for gas stations • Parking lot lighting • Exterior wall mount

• Neon retirement (assume 10 year remaining life)

Phase IV- late 2012/early 2013

• Marquee and Cabinet signs • Exterior walkway lights (new 8”) • Qualified 2x4 recessed troffers for retrofit where the

number of fixtures is reduced but light level not compromised- would require LED or expensive high quality T8 fixture.

• Extremely high bay. Directionality is an advantage. • Flood lighting. May be cost effective for some types. • Recessed can screw-in bulbs for homes. • Street lights

Phase V- Now or Soon • Retail LED sales- top performers, selected

by lumens/watt and lumens/$. General use and some specialty bulbs.

• Prescriptive 2x4 and 2x2 troffers, troffer kits • Prescriptive:

• LED Outdoor Pole/Arm-mounted Area Luminaires,

• Outdoor Wall-mounted Area Luminaires, • Parking Garage Luminaires, • Fuel Pump Canopy, and • Architectural Flood/Spot Lighting

Still Holding Back in Some Areas: • We do not promote most of the LED

bulbs • HID replacement is limited - competition

from T5HO- handling as custom • Direct install home lighting- not enough

hours. • New Homes- allowed but not much • LED tubes to replace fluorescent

Why Limit Offers? • If the utility industry support for products that

cost too much and don’t provide adequate light/$, that discourages product development.

• Need to encourage improvement, then encourage high-performing products.

• Builders are cautious- looking for the right product mix and introduction opportunity

Continued Cautions

• Dimmer compatibility remains a problem (hasn’t been as bad for the market as we feared).

• Match equipment to its field application • Metrics, equivalence are still problems. • Savings/fixture are lower than they were for CFLs,

HPT8 because of what we’ve already saved

More Information Needs • Consumer Education • Drivers- compatibility, durability • Accelerated lifetime testing. • Focus on higher lifetimes as a potential advantage for LEDs • Single, searchable online resource merging lighting facts, ES, Designlights

• Getting better • DLC needs better search tool.

• Databased products are tested, link to tests & cut sheets.

Yet More Info Needs • Keep up as new product types (form

factors) in Lighting Facts, or we need a new way to qualify product.

• Human factors testing. LM-79 and LM-80 do not assure that lighting appears similar to humans (Ecova/TopTen)
