Abstract: We discuss both the technical potential for lighting savings and the achievable potential from existing programs aimed at realizing those savings in both the U.S. and Canada. Approximately 422 TWh or 57% of projected lighting electricity could be saved in the U.S. by 2010 if most cost-effective, commercially available measures were implemented in all applicable buildings. The estimate includes 306 TWh or 66% of projected commercial lighting energy, 60 TWh or 47% of residential lighting energy, and 56 TWh or 38% of industrial lighting energy. We estimate the achievable savings potential from utility programs and regulations (35 to 46%, or 261 to 345 TWh of all U.S. lighting energy). According to this analysis, about 70 to 80% of the technical potential could be saved in 2010 by a combination of regulations and utility programs.
