Energy-Efficient Lighting Can Still Provide Opportunities for Energy Savings, DNV Study Finds

The study was undertaken in partnership with 11 organizations across the U.S. and Canada The study identified six separate “next generation” commercial lighting opportunities that are most likely to produce significant program savings or are gaining traction in the market. It graded these opportunities according to the potential size of the market, potential to deliver meaningful program savings, and ease of delivery. Three opportunities—higher efficacy LEDs, advanced lighting controls, and redesign LED-to-LED retrofit—are considered mass market opportunities and have the ability to fit into established energy management programs or have the ability to scale. The other three opportunities—demand management, germicidal UV, and tunable lighting—are niche market opportunities that apply to specific conditions and customers, and, while have the ability to provide energy savings, are not suited to broad adoption.  Energy-efficient lighting can still provide opportunities for energy savings, DNV study finds

The First Edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica Is Published on Dec. 10, 1768  The Encyclopedia Britannica, the oldest continuously published and revised work in the English language, was first made available to the public in Edinburgh, Scotland. This monumental work, which would go on to become a cornerstone of knowledge, marked the beginning of a publication that has influenced generations of scholars, students, and curious minds around the world.  The Encyclopædia Britannica was the brainchild of Colin Macfarquhar, a Scottish printer and bookseller, and Andrew Bell, a Scottish engraver. Together, they sought to create an authoritative, comprehensive, and accessible work that would encapsulate the growing body of knowledge of their time.  What began as a small printing project in Edinburgh grew into one of the most influential reference works in the world, providing access to knowledge and intellectual insight for generations, helping to shape the way we think about history, science, culture, and the world around us. Today, the Encyclopedia Britannica is regarded as one of the most influential reference works in the world. Our personal library to help us learn.  I hear  something better is coming along………
