Question #

E8.1a — LEDs

Question

Are LED lighting installed in spaces controlled by the owner or landlord?

Applicability

Applicable to all buildings (systems or equipment in the owner or landlord’s control)

Answer

Select all applicable:

    • Yes — More than 50% of exterior spaces have LEDs
    • Yes — More than 50% of owner / landlord-managed interior spaces have LEDs
    • Yes — More than 50% of tenant-managed interior spaces have LEDs
    • No – less than 50% of building lighting is LEDs

Description

Lighting represents a significant percentage of electricity end use and contributes to electrical demand (kW) in addition to consumption (kWh).

Reduction of lighting energy consumption can reduce electricity consumption and costs, lower impact on the electrical grid, assist with ensuring there is sufficient capacity for building electrification or EV charging and reduce carbon emissions associated with electricity, particularly where the electrical grid has a high emission factor.

Optimization can be achieved through efficient fixtures and enhanced controls while also maintaining occupant safety.

Requirements

    1. Mark up a floor plan or take photos to indicate extent of interior and exterior LED installation
    2. Keep a record of LED product specifications

Documentation

    • Sample of floor plans, photos and product specifications of LED installation
    • Plan to increase LED installation if less than 50% of building lighting is LED
