Australia’s Equipment Energy Efficiency (E3) Program has released a consultation regulation impact statement (RIS) considering policy options to improve the energy efficiency of residential and commercial lighting in Australia and New Zealand.
Following the previous 2013 interlaboratory comparison where 110 labs from around the world were compared for measurements of LED lighting products, the International Energy Agency’s Energy-Efficient End-use Equipment Solid State Lighting Annex (IEA 4E SSL Annex) is preparing to launch the 2017 Interlaboratory Comparison (IC 2017) for goniophotometer measurements.
The IEA 4E SSL Annex published seven new and updated “quality and performance tiers” for popular LED lamps and luminaires. These seven documents offer policy makers and programme administrators guidance on which parameters to consider and the levels that may be appropriate when specifying or regulating LED products. Parameters include efficacy, lifetime, light colour, durability, and many other metrics.
ITI, Danish Energy Agency, Korean Energy Agency and ACEEE announce support for CDA Voluntary Principles for Energy Efficient Connected Devices
The next international conference on Energy Efficency in Motor Driven Systems will be held on 6 to 8 September 2017 in Rome, Italy. Abstracts are to be submitted until 11 November 2016.
EDNA has published a study of “Energy Aware” devices – devices which can report their own energy consumption, in real time.
The 4E EMSA has published the new report “Policy Guidelines for Motor Driven Units – Part 1: Analysis of standards and regulations for pumps, fans and compressors”.
So that interested parties know what to look out for, 4E has added a new facility that gives prior notice of future publications and events.
EMSA will soon release its next report analyzing standards and regulations for pumps, fans and compressors and present it on 11 and 12 October at the Motor Summit in Zurich.
“Smart” lamps combine technology breakthroughs in wireless communications with light emitting diodes (LEDs) to provide many exciting consumer benefits. However, the standby energy use of “smart lamps” can be larger than the energy used for providing lighting, according to a new report from the IEA 4E Solid State Lighting Annex.
