Overview:
Lighting is subject to regulatory guidelines at the state and country level in North America, and at country levels around the globe. Energy standards include product regulations, building standards, market transformation programs and high efficiency or green building guidelines. This Webcast will look at some of the most significant regulatory issues facing the lighting industry and how this will impact the LED market.
The LEDs Magazine Webcast on lighting regulations and standards will be presented by IES Fellow and Acuity regulatory expert Cheryl English, and will focus on programs that specifically impact LED-based lighting, and the transition of the lighting industry from legacy sources to SSL. The presentation will take a quick look at legacy regulations, and examine how the regulatory landscape is evolving to support LEDs.
The presentation will focus primarily on North America, including California-centric regulations that in many cases are leading the broader US-wide programs. The discussion will include a brief look at the Canadian regulatory landscape. Still, the global audience should find the material compelling both because global companies do business in the US, and because there are similar LED regulatory programs being put in place in every region of the world.
