6/13/12 to 6/14/12 - DOE Solid-State Lighting Manufacturing R&D Workshop - San Jose, CA
The DOE Solid-State Lighting (SSL) Manufacturing R&D Initiative was created in 2009 to forge government-industry partnerships focused on a common goal: to reduce the cost and improve the quality of SSL products. A related goal is to foster a significant U.S. role for SSL manufacturing—creating jobs and promoting our nation's technology leadership in this field.

9/9/12 to 9/12/12 - IES Street & Area Lighting Conference - Miami, FL
The SALC conference is considered the premiere conference for the outdoor lighting market and directed at the following audience:
Architects, Cooperatives, Contractors or Maintenance Providers, Departments of Transportation, Educators and Researchers, Energy Service Managers, Engineers, Landscape Architects, Lighting Designers, Manufacturers and Manufacturer Reps, Municipalities, Utilities

U.S. DOE Solid-State Lighting
Solid-state lighting (SSL) technology has the potential to reduce U.S. lighting energy usage by nearly one half and contribute significantly to our nation's climate change solutions. The U.S. Department of Energy acts as a catalyst to drive R&D breakthroughs in efficiency and performance, and to equip buyers to successfully apply SSL lighting.

DOE Municipal Solid-State Street Lighting Consortium
The DOE Municipal Solid-State Street Lighting Consortium shares technical information and experiences related to LED street and area lighting demonstrations. The Consortium also serves as an objective resource for evaluating new products on the market intended for street and area lighting applications.

DOE Consortium Publishes Roadway Lighting Specification
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Municipal Solid-State Street Lighting Consortium has published guidance for cities, utilities, and other local agencies interested in saving money and energy by converting their street and roadway lighting to LED technology. The Model Specification for LED Roadway Luminaires is designed specifically for LED luminaires, which, in addition to saving energy, have the expected benefit of reducing maintenance costs while improving visibility.

DOE MSSLC Retrofit Financial Analysis Tool
The Retrofit Financial Analysis Tool, developed by the DOE Municipal Solid-State Street Lighting Consortium in collaboration with the Clinton Climate Initiative, provides municipalities, utilities, and other organizations a method of analyzing the cost and return-on-investment from lighting efficiency projects.

DOE Solid-State Lighting GATEWAY Demonstration Results
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) shares the results of completed solid-state lighting (SSL) GATEWAY demonstration projects, publishing detailed reports and briefs on completed projects, both available as Adobe Acrobat PDFs. The reports include detailed analysis of data collected, projected energy savings, payback analysis, and user feedback.

DOE LED Lighting Facts
The LED Lighting Facts® is a program of the U.S. Department of Energy that showcases LED products for general illumination from manufacturers who commit to testing products and reporting performance results according to industry standards. For lighting buyers, designers, and energy efficiency programs, the LED Lighting Facts label provides information essential to evaluating products and identifying the best options.

DOE Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (EECEG) and State Energy Program (SEP) Grant Awards
The Interactive US map on the DOE website provides a quick summary of current EECBG and SEP amounts awarded to grantees across the country. Clicking any colored pin allows further drill-down to find specific award and project information for each government entity grantee.

Clinton Climate Initiative
Outdoor lighting systems can account for a significant percentage of a municipal government’s electricity usage. Depending on the size of the city, the infrastructure it manages, and the efficacy of the lighting system, it can be as high as 60 percent. But with innovative new technologies, cities can raise the efficiency standard for outdoor lighting while quickly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and saving on energy costs.

Energy Star Solid-State Lighting Luminaires
The ENERGY STAR SSL Program Requirements are intended for general illumination. SSL general illumination products were not previously covered by any ENERGY STAR product category, although there are other product categories using light emitting diodes (LEDs) for non-illumination purposes, including indication and decoration.

Illuminating Engineering Society (IES)
The IES seeks to improve the lighted environment by bringing together those with lighting knowledge and by translating that knowledge into actions that benefit the public.

International Dark-Sky Association
The mission of the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) is to preserve and protect the nighttime environment and our heritage of dark skies through environmentally responsible outdoor lighting.

DesignLights™ Consortium Qualified Products List
The DesignLights™ Consortium ("DLC") Qualified Products List ("QPL") Members support only high-quality, high-performing commercial LED products. Each of the products listed on the QPL have met the DLC's minimum performance and other requirements.

Rebates: Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE)
DSIRE is a comprehensive source of information on state, local, utility and federal incentives and policies that promote renewable energy and energy efficiency. Established in 1995 and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, DSIRE is an ongoing project of the N.C. Solar Center and the Interstate Renewable Energy Council.
