Deadline for Submitting Comments is August 13, 2017 The efficacy of Solid State Lighting (SSL) including LCDs has increased in recent years to a point that LED lighting can outperform fluorescent lighting. Standard 301 currently has only two tiers of lighting efficacy – one representing inefficient incandescent lighting (15 lumens/watt) and one representing fluorescent lighting (60 lumens/watt). Addendum G proposes to amend ANSI/RESNET/ANSI Standard 301-2014 to add a third lighting tier representing very high efficiency LED lighting (90 lumens/watt). The RESNET Standards Development Committee 300 has proposed Addendum G which amends Standard ANSI/RESNET/ICC ANSI Standard 301-2014, to add a third tier for very high efficacy lighting (average luminous efficacy equal to or greater than 90 lumens/watt). The RESNET Standard Committee 300 has approved submitting the proposed amendment BSR/RESNET/ICC 301-2014 Addendum C-201X, PDS-01, Whole-House Mechanical Ventilation to the RESNET standard amendment public review and comment process. The proposed amended language is posted at BSR/RESNET/ICC 301-2014 Addendum G-201x, Solid State Lighting. Only the proposed changes (denoted in underline-strikeout format) are open to comment. To submit your comments click on RESNET Amendment Comment Online Form. Comments are posted real time and you will be able to review comments that were submitted by clicking on Comments Submitted on Proposed Amendment BSR/RESNET/ICC 301-2014 Addendum G-201x, Solid State Lighting. The public comment period ends on August 13, 2017. After the comment period, the RESNET Standard Development Committee 300 will consider and document each of the comments submitted and make appropriate changes. The revised proposed amendments then will be submitted to the RESNET Standard Management Board for adoption.
