A Tool for Lighting Policy Analysis: Improving Energy Efficient Indoor Lighting in the Netherlands
Barbara A. AtkinsonJames E. McMahon Judith D. Jennings Kenny W. Lo Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, USA Gerrit Jan Jansen Wilbert van Seggelen Bakkenist Management Consultants, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Abstract This paper describes the methodology and data required to analyze the potential for improving indoor lighting energy efficiency using a spreadsheet model entitled LPROGNOS. The methodology has been developed for the purpose of assessing technology and policy alternatives for a country. The model quantifies potential energy savings and economic impacts from various policies. The model has been used in the project "Government Policies for Energy Efficient Indoor Lighting in the Netherlands", that was commissioned by NOVEM on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Netherlands. The project has been conducted by Bakkenist Management Consultants with the assistance of Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. The results of the baseline projection of energy consumption by building sector and energy costs for indoor lighting in the Netherlands from 1990 to 2010 are given in this paper. The results of the analysis of the policy option of minimum efficiency standards for fluorescent lamps and ballasts will be presented at the Right Light Conference in September 1993.
