September 25: Live Webinar on the City of Los Angeles LED Street Lighting Program
Webinar Sponsor: DOE Municipal Solid-State Street Lighting Consortium
The Energy Department will present a live webcast titled, "City of Los Angeles: LED Street Lighting Program" on Wednesday, Sept. 25, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Los Angeles recently completed a massive conversion program in which more than 141,000 of its streetlights were retrofitted with LED products, cutting energy use by 63% while saving the city $7 million a year in electricity costs and reducing annual carbon emissions by over 47,000 metric tons-the equivalent of taking nearly 10,000 cars off the road. Webinar presenter Ed Ebrahimian, Director of the Los Angeles Bureau of Street Lighting, will review lessons learned from this leading-edge project and will also cover financial considerations, program development, and feedback from the community and the police department. Cities, power providers, and others who invest in street and area lighting are invited to participate. IES continuing education credits will be offered.
