The U.S. Department of Energy’s Municipal Solid-State Street Lighting Consortium will hold its Southwest Region Workshop on August 25 – 26 in San Jose, California. The City of San Jose is hosting the workshop—the Consortium’s final regional workshop in 2011—and welcomes designers, consultants, utility and city representatives, government agencies, and energy efficiency organizations that evaluate and implement light-emitting diode (LED) street lighting solutions.
The presentations will include an overview of the City of San Jose’s LED street lighting program, discussion of remote monitoring and adaptive lighting controls, guidance for understanding and using solid-state lighting standards, and more. In addition, a representative from the Clinton Climate Initiative will present their cost-benefit analysis tool, which the Consortium has adapted, that evaluates costs and environmental impact reductions associated with LED street light installations. The registration fee for this workshop is $175. Visit the event website for more information and to register.
