On Nov. 19, CEE's Executive Board of Directors approved an initiative for High-Performance Commercial Lighting Systems.

The initial focus of the High-Performance Commercial Lighting Systems Initiative is national coordination in defining efficient, high-performance lighting products. At the outset, the initiative is addressing higher lumen, 4-foot, 32-watt T8 lighting systems. Future efforts will address reduced wattage T8 systems as well as other technologies.

For the long term, CEE proposes to enhance energy savings by:

• Evaluating opportunities to support efficient lighting technologies and practices
• Encouraging the adoption and promotion of common specifications for high-performance lighting systems
• Developing effective program approaches to increase market share of high-performance lighting equipment
