The Market Transformation Plan is the culmination of the program development stage, where extensive research and planning is done to prepare the initiative for market launch. The purpose of this plan is to summarize key contextual information, lay out the basic program logic and desired end state that informs our market strategy, and present the fundamental market support activities necessary for success.  

This Energy Savings and Market Evaluation Plan focuses on the Luminaire-Level Lighting Controls (LLLC) Initiative. We attempt here to provide a well-thought-out plan for both the estimation of savings, and for measuring market progress, in advance of launching our initiative in the market. As we learn more about the market through additional research and through our market engagement, we will continue to refine and update our approach. 

In July 2022, Minnesota Department of Commerce approved a market transformation portfolio as proposed by Center for Energy and the Environment (CEE) and known as the Efficient Technology Accelerator (ETA). This proposal included an initial portfolio of projects, including one focused on Luminaire Level Lighting Control. In this report, the Cadeo research team presents a market characterization overview, followed by detailed findings for each research activity.
