The new report projects that energy savings from LED lighting will top 5 quadrillion Btus (quads) annually by 2035. Among the key findings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>By 2035, LED lamps and luminaires are anticipated to occupy\u00a0the majority of lighting installations for each of the niches examined, comprising 86% of installed stock across all categories (compared to only 6% in 2015).<\/li>\n<li>Annual savings from LED lighting will be 5.1 quads in 2035, nearly equivalent to the total annual energy consumed by 45 million U.S. homes today, and representing a 75% reduction in energy consumption versus a no-LED scenario.<\/li>\n<li>Most of the 5.1 quads of projected energy savings by 2035 will be attributable to two commercial lighting applications (linear and low\/high-bay), one residential application (A-type), and one that crosses \u00adboth residential and commercial (direc\u00adtional). Connected lighting and other control technologies will be essential in achieving these savings, accounting for almost 2.3 quads of the total.<\/li>\n<li>From 2015 to 2035, a total cumulative energy savings of 62 quads \u2013 equivalent to nearly $630 billion in avoided energy costs \u2013 is possible if the DOE SSL Program goals for LED efficacy and connected lighting are achieved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don&#8217;t have time for the full report? \u00a0Download the <a href=\"http:\/\/energy.gov\/sites\/prod\/files\/2016\/09\/f33\/energysavingsforecast16_summary.pdf\">report summary<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In September the\u00a0DOE issued,\u00a0Energy Savings Forecast of Solid-State Lighting in General Illumination Applications\u00a0(PDF, 116 pages), the latest edition of a biannual report which models the adoption of LEDs in the U.S. general-lighting market, along with associated energy savings, based on the full potential DOE has determined to be technically feasible over time.
