Definition
“Sustainable lighting design meets the qualitative needs of the visual environment with the least impact on the natural environment.”
International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) Sustainability Committee, 2000
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle:The Key to Sustainable Lighting
State government mandates and corporate awareness are causing environmental attention & compliance to grow very fast
Sustainable lighting practice is part of sustainable development
Environmental decision-making is now made at a higher level in most organizations:
Top down directive to “buy green”Value CreationLong term customer relationships
Sustainable Lighting Good Practice Redefined
• Five years ago, good lighting design practice included a strong focus on architectural integration and decoration – with some technical attention to basic energy conservation.
• Today, environmental awareness is inherent to good practice for every project – beyond energy efficiency – to include maximum use of daylighting, origins & longevity of products, reuse, recycling & disposal considerations.
Sustainable Development Commitment
“We recognize the need to perform not only against a single, financial bottom line, but against the triple bottom line. This involves the simultaneous pursuit not only of economic prosperity and environmental quality, but of social equity as well. It’s about living up to our brand promise, Let’s make things better.”
- Gerard Kleisterlee, President, Royal Philips Electronics
Philips provides a publicly disclosed certification. Philips’ Alto ISO compliant LCA meets MTS’ Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Standard. LCA identifies product benefits/impacts throughout the supply chain.
Public Disclosure
EPA Hierarchy – Lamps
Reduce - Environmental impact (mercury,lead) Reuse - mercury Recycle - mercury containing lamps Dispose - last choice & not advisable due to
environmental impact & liability, & not legal in several states including California
Environmental Impacts of Lighting
Raw materials & processes to make fixtures, ballasts, lamps, controls
Longevity of those products to reduce replacement & waste
Energy/watts consumed by fixtures when installed Fuel to deliver products to project sites &
packaging for safe transport
Sustainable Lighting Questions:life cycle impacts & benefits
Raw materials: What are the materials needed? Where are they from? Are they renewable or are we depleting a limited supply?
Process: Where are the products assembled, are any hazardous chemicals used? Is the health of the workers at risk? What emissions or water-borne chemicals leave the factory? How much waste is created to make 1 product?
Sustainable Lighting:life cycle impacts & benefits
Packaging / Delivery: What packaging materials are used to safely transport the products? How much material is needed? Is the material bio-degradable? Can it be recycled? Does the manufacturer take it back to reuse it? How close is the factory to the project site? Can the products be delivered all at once to reduce fuel waste?
Installation / Use: How easy is the product to install? Can it be easily damaged during installation? How long will it last? What can be done to increase its life?
Sustainable Lighting:life cycle impacts & benefits cont…
Reclamation/ Reuse / Disposal: Is the product reusable? Is the product recyclable? Is it biodegradable? Can it be sent back to the manufacturer for reuse? Do materials go to landfill & if so how much? All landfills leak & create environmental degradation.

* Based on 20K burning hours, Hg content of 23 mg/ T12 lamp, and 8 mg per T8 lamp. Hg content of fuels is US weighted average for fossil and nonfossil fuels, calculated from “Environmental and Health Aspects of Lighting: Mercury” J.IES 1994. Disposal emissions assume 3% in residuals of recycling, 90% from incinerators.

KEY
Lifetime Mercury Emissions
The Mad Hatter
Regulation & Standards State of Iowa State contracts require lowest
mercury available
State of Washington statute - no mercury or lowest available
LEED-Existing Buildings targets mercury content to 100 picograms per lumen hour, per LEED-EB 2nd review draft currently posted on USGBC.org
MERCURY FISH ADVISORIES
Illinois – All Rivers and lakes San Francisco Bay Delaware River (NJ) Onondaga Lake (NY) Snake River (OR) The Everglades
Coal fired power plants are predominant mercury source.
Case Study
Philips Lighting FormulaAn Energy Blueprint for the Nation
Relamped Berkeley California city block with energy efficient lighting
Residential & Business
Demonstrated how easy it is to improve efficiency by changing lamps
Created a Blueprint for others
Partners: Department of Energy, State of California & City of Berkeley

Longer Lamp Life: Less WasteLess Manufacturing, Less Replacement
Fluorescent extended rated life
Universal T8 20,000 hrs (all ballast types)
Advantage - Plus T8 24,000 hrs
Induction Lighting 100,000 hrs
Halogen longer life of 2-3 versus incandescent
Longer life products reduce Lamps to eco-system Packaging Transportation emissions
High performance longer life lamps reduce waste& pollution from power plants!
