Policy & Regulatory Paths The collateral challenges of high-efficiency luminaires & intelligent control systems Dr. Eric Dannenmaier Dean and Professor of Law, Northern Illinois University College of Law Moderator
Great ideas .. at the time .. unintended consequences Radioactive Tritium Polychlorinated Biphenyls Bisphenol A (BpA) Exit Signs that glow in the dark High-temperature lubricants Plastic (polycarbonate) bottles Amalgam dental fillings Insulation heat & sound More efficiently-burning gasoline Quick-drying, long-lasting paint Efficient energy transmission Mercury Asbestos Lead Lead Property expropriation (takings)
Great ideas .. .............. Unintended market obstacles 110, 220 volt systems Variable gauges Betamax, VHS HD/DVD, Blu-Ray Kilograms, pounds, stone EER = -0.02 SEER + 1.12 SEER fathoms, rods, chains, furlongs, nautical miles, stadia, leagues Household & commercial electricity Railroads Analog recording technology Digital recording technology Weight measurements Energy efficiency measurements Distance measurements
Great ideas .. . .. unintended consequences? Intelligent Energy Controls Control systems using artificial intelligence to gauge, learn & anticipate user behavior to ensure optimized energy consumption within a building (HVAC, boilers, etc.) through intelligent switching of loads, and integration into a smart grid High efficiency luminaires Maximizing luminaire center beam candlepower (candela), per total input watts (W), taking into account efficiency & efficacy (lumens/W), coefficient of utilization (CU) and comparative yearly energy cost of light ($/1000 lumens) What unintended consequences and obstacles might these important energy efficiency innovations present?
