Commercial Lighting Measure Persistence Study

The primary objective of this study was to conduct primary and secondary research and analysis to provide the sponsors with estimates of measure lifetimes that included on-site verification of CFL bulbs and fixtures, LED exit signs, HID fixtures, and T8 fixtures installed by commercial and industrial lighting programs in New England and New York.  A second objective was to determine the expected operating lives (in hours) for the same equipment categories; based on secondary data.  A primary driver of this study was the need for lighting measure lives for use in submitting demand resources into the ISO-NE Forward Capacity Market.
