Market Research on the Use of Energy Efficient Lighting in the Commercial Sector

Objective

This project aims to provide market research on:

- how light is used in the commercial sector (type, wattages, the frequency of use, ...).

- where and by whom is energy efficient lighting used (customer category, motive of purchase, payback time, ...).

- how controls are used (presence control, time control and daylight control).

- what is the potential for more energy efficient lighting (shift to other lighting sources or systems and more use of controls and daylight).

Expected results are to map:

- the motivation of and attitudes towards the purchase of light sources and the barriers which appear for use of energy efficient lighting.

- the conditions and barriers which are common in EU.

- the potential for use of energy efficient lighting.

- an estimation of the energy used for lighting in the commercial sector which can be used as a baseline scenario for future energy use in forecast models.

Actions to be taken are:

- all relevant market research on lighting will be studied in order to ensure that no duplication of effort occurs.

- surveys will be performed in the participating countries in order to provide the market analysis and characterize the present market.

- meetings and discussions with manufactures, retailers, designers/architects, government agencies, utilities and user organisations in order to understand the actual situation, the future expectations, possible developments, etc.
