Efficiency Vermont RELIGHT Program • A program that promotes the use of lighting design professionals to identify and pursue significantly increased savings on lighting retrofit projects • Provides customers with expert advice on equipment, controls, layout, light levels • Participating design professionals are either NCQLP Lighting Certified(LC) or Vermont-licensed Professional Engineers (PEs)www.efficiencyvermont.com/relight
Efficiency Vermont RELIGHT Program • Comprehensive lighting design can yield significantly more energy savings compared to a standard 1-for-1 retrofit • On lighting projects where a design professional was involved (prior to RELIGHT), savings were on average 40% higher than typical
Efficiency Vermont RELIGHT Program • 60% of RELIGHT projects are K-12 schools.
RELIGHT Example: Williston Central School • Grade 3-8 school builtin stages between 1950and 1991 • Typical mix of T8 and T12 lighting throughout • Controls were seldomused or non-existent • Classes and offices were illuminated to 50-75 fc • “One-for-one” approach could have yielded 42% savings • Instead, the school worked with a local lighting designer through the RELIGHT program to design a lighting upgrade
Williston Central School – Recommendations • 10% (125) of the existing light fixtures were eliminated due to poor placement and/or over lighting • All remaining equipment was upgraded/replaced with a variety of High Performance T8 and T5 High Output • Lamping was generally reduced to two lamps per fixture • Light levels were designed to IESNA recommendations • Remote- and fixture-mounted occupancy sensors were used extensively throughout; 75% of the fixtures were controlled
Williston Central School – Results • Instead of saving the school 42% ($14,000 per year), the design achieved 62% savings ($21,000 per year)

RELIGHT Program Goals • Increase energy savings on lighting retrofit projects through efficiency, design and controls • Target a minimum 40% increase over standard “1-for-1” retrofits • Encourage widespread use of lighting designers • Maximize energy savings • Improve lighting project satisfaction for customers • Advance lighting knowledge among Vermont design professionals • Use of IESNA best practices • Efficiency Vermont incentives available for NCQLP Lighting Certification training and exam
Efficiency Vermont RELIGHT Program • Upfront incentive to cover cost of audit and design: • Back-end incentive—in addition to equipment incentives— to reward high-performing projects. Target is a calculated baseline that represents a typical 1-for-1 retrofit. • 2012 incentive levels. Subject to change in future years.
RELIGHT Required Deliverables • Facility Audit • Detailed accounting of facility info and existing lighting • Completed RELIGHT Analysis Tool • Facility info, audit results, proposed equipment • Design Recommendations • Summary of suggested equipment upgrades • Equipment Specification • Non-proprietary, if requested by customer
