DOE vs EPA:The controversy continues…
July 18, 2008 technology & education No Comments
Jim Brodrick, who leads the US Department of Energy (DOE) Solid State Lighting program, has circulated an email explaining his concerns over the EPA’s Energy Star criteria.
[Editor's Note: this email was circulated on July 10 to DOE's distribution list, and is reproduced here without editing. Furtherarticles relating to this situation can be found at: www.ledsmagazine.com/Sustainability.]
Greetings from sunny Portland. Since I’ve been in town, the most consistent question that I have received concerns the fact that there now seems to be two conflicting ENERGY STAR criteria for solid-state lighting, and “What is the government going to do about the unfortunate situation?” Excellent question, but I’m afraid the answer is far from being decided. No doubt the existence of two sets of conflicting criteria is creating a dilemma within the lighting industry that could have serious financial consequences.
