The Efficiency Vermont RELIGHT Program promotes energy savings on lighting retrofit projects by engaging lighting design professionals. This comprehensive program offers expert advice on equipment, controls, layout, and light levels, resulting in significantly increased savings. By involving NCQLP Lighting Certified designers or Vermont-licensed Professional Engineers, projects see a 40% average increase in savings compared to typical retrofits. The program targets various sectors, with schools being a major participant. An example from Williston Central School showcases how proper lighting design can lead to substantial savings. Goals include maximizing energy savings, encouraging widespread use of lighting designers, and enhancing customer satisfaction. Incentives are provided to cover audit and design costs, with rewards for high-performing projects. Participants can access this program through a detailed work flow and analysis tool, ensuring non-proprietary equipment specifications are met.

Efficiency Vermont RELIGHT Program • A program that promotes the use of lighting design professionals to identify and pursue significantly increased savings on lighting retrofit projects • Provides customers with expert advice on equipment, controls, layout, light levels • Participating design professionals are either NCQLP Lighting Certified(LC) or Vermont-licensed Professional Engineers (PEs)www.efficiencyvermont.com/relight
Efficiency Vermont RELIGHT Program • Comprehensive lighting design can yield significantly more energy savings compared to a standard 1-for-1 retrofit • On lighting projects where a design professional was involved (prior to RELIGHT), savings were on average 40% higher than typical
Efficiency Vermont RELIGHT Program • 60% of RELIGHT projects are K-12 schools.
RELIGHT Example: Williston Central School • Grade 3-8 school builtin stages between 1950and 1991 • Typical mix of T8 and T12 lighting throughout • Controls were seldomused or non-existent • Classes and offices were illuminated to 50-75 fc • “One-for-one” approach could have yielded 42% savings • Instead, the school worked with a local lighting designer through the RELIGHT program to design a lighting upgrade
Williston Central School – Recommendations • 10% (125) of the existing light fixtures were eliminated due to poor placement and/or over lighting • All remaining equipment was upgraded/replaced with a variety of High Performance T8 and T5 High Output • Lamping was generally reduced to two lamps per fixture • Light levels were designed to IESNA recommendations • Remote- and fixture-mounted occupancy sensors were used extensively throughout; 75% of the fixtures were controlled
Williston Central School – Results • Instead of saving the school 42% ($14,000 per year), the design achieved 62% savings ($21,000 per year)

RELIGHT Program Goals • Increase energy savings on lighting retrofit projects through efficiency, design and controls • Target a minimum 40% increase over standard “1-for-1” retrofits • Encourage widespread use of lighting designers • Maximize energy savings • Improve lighting project satisfaction for customers • Advance lighting knowledge among Vermont design professionals • Use of IESNA best practices • Efficiency Vermont incentives available for NCQLP Lighting Certification training and exam
Efficiency Vermont RELIGHT Program • Upfront incentive to cover cost of audit and design: • Back-end incentive—in addition to equipment incentives— to reward high-performing projects. Target is a calculated baseline that represents a typical 1-for-1 retrofit. • 2012 incentive levels. Subject to change in future years.
RELIGHT Required Deliverables • Facility Audit • Detailed accounting of facility info and existing lighting • Completed RELIGHT Analysis Tool • Facility info, audit results, proposed equipment • Design Recommendations • Summary of suggested equipment upgrades • Equipment Specification • Non-proprietary, if requested by customer
