Energy Star webinar will discuss lighting program changes
EPA has announced a webinar to discuss the future of the Energy Star Lighting program. This will take place on April 6, 2010 from 1:00 to 2:30pm Eastern Time.
Please note that the webinar will NOT discuss the specifics of the led lighting criteria.
The webinar will cover the proposed enhancements to testing and verification for the following Energy Star-qualified product categories: Compact Fluorescent Lamps; Integral led lamps; Residential Light Fixtures; and Solid-State Lighting.
To register, email ENERGYSTARVerificationProgram@icfi.com by the close of business on Thursday, March 25 and note “Lighting” in the subject line. Confirmed registrants will receive details for the call.
The EPA's Alex Baker, Energy Star Lighting Program Manager, told leds Magazine that the April 6 webinar will cover three general topics around Energy Star lighting:
Accreditation bodies: the program is revisiting the accreditation bodies referenced to ensure quality results from the labs that provide testing services.
Qualification processes: while this webinar will not explore the specifics of the lighting program integration and specification revision efforts currently underway at EPA, it will outline potential changes to the overall process which are intended to add value for our partners.
Verification testing: the program is designing a next-generation verification testing program for lighting products, to verify that qualified lighting products shipped to the market are continuing to provide the same performance presented to EPA upon qualification.
Baker also said that EPA intends to have the first draft of the Energy Star Luminaires specification out for stakeholder review in early April. "Following the release of the draft we will conduct a separate webinar to explain the first draft," he said.
