DLC Request for Proposals 2024 Pathways to Connected Lighting

January 11, 2024

The DLC has released a request for proposals for a consultant to help define a clear pathway to adopting connected lighting for energy efficiency programs in North America.

As the lighting baseline evolves to LED, efficiency programs will need to move from incentives for simple, uncontrolled LED lighting components to incentives for connected lighting systems. This project will help DLC members who are not yet focused on connected lighting systems to be more effective at each step along the path to connected lighting.

DOWNLOAD RFP

Proposals will be accepted until February 16, 2024. Respondents may submit questions about this RFP until January 19 2024, via email to Stephen White, contact information within. Please download the RFP for full details.
