Webcast on CBEA High-Efficiency Troffer Specification to be Held October 25, 2011

On October 25, 2011, the Department of Energy will host a 90-minute live webcast on the high-efficiency troffer specification developed by DOE’s Commercial Building Energy Alliances (CBEA).

Fifty percent of all commercial fluorescent lighting are recessed fixtures (troffers) in 2×4, 2×2, and 1×4 configurations which are in operation for more than 10 hours a day on average and collectively consume more than 63 TWh of energy.

In this webcast, Jeff McCullough and Michael Myer of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will review the energy-saving benefits of high-efficiency troffers, highlight their design and implementation considerations, and identify different troffer types. The presentation will conclude with an overview of the CBEA specification, which is technology-neutral (using fluorescent or LED sources) and targets 20 percent energy savings over “typical” fluorescent lamps, while maintaining good lumen output, distribution, and color quality.

The webcast will begin promptly at 1:00 p.m. ET and will include a 60-minute presentation, followed by a 30-minute question-and-answer session with attendees.
