PROJECT OBJECTIVE

Lighting in commercial buildings consumes large amounts of energy. NextEnergy is working to improve energy savings in small and medium commercial buildings. The project will reduce market barriers to adoption of lighting controls solutions to spur market adoption. This will be achieved through demonstrations, consumer education, and utility incentive adjustment.

PROJECT IMPACT

NextEnergy and partners will train more than 100 contractors in advanced lighting controls and simplified installation methods and develop a model for streamlined incentives for lighting controls. Consumer education materials will be developed and deployed to increase adoption of lighting controls in commercial buildings.
