Description:

Being “green” continues to be a hot topic, and one part of the equation calls for a reduction in electricity usage. The amount of electricity consumed can be dramatically reduced by leveraging innovative technologies, such as LED lighting. More and more, government agencies and industry organizations are emphasizing the importance of environmentally responsible building practices. As a result, new standards and regulations have emerged to encourage, and, in some cases, even require the use of compliant materials and technologies. Several of these standards apply to lighting.

Although much has been published about the energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly nature of LED sources, there is no “one size fits all” answer as to how they facilitate compliance with today’s various mandates. This in-depth discussion will highlight the rapid advancements in LEDs, where LEDs stand today in terms of cutting energy consumption, and several energy-and environment-related initiatives and how they are supported by the use of solid-state lighting.
