SECTION B: Project report and reflection
Briefly answer each of the questions below. Section B should be a maximum of 2-3
pages, inclusive of the questions and tables provided.
1.
Project description: In 3-4 sentences, describe the project and its main
objectives.
The APEC Expert Group on Energy Efficiency and Conservation (EGEEC) has supported
this US led workshop. The two-day roundtable workshop was hosted by King Mongkut’s
University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) in Bangkok, Thailand on 5-6 September 2013.
It aims to understand how to effectively translate lighting design research into practice with
a university research center model based on input from regional experts and stakeholders –
government agencies, utilities, lighting industry and professional associations. The longterm objective is to establish such a regional center at KMUTT and other APEC economies.
2.
Meeting your objectives: Were the proposed objectives of the project met? If
so, please describe how. If not, please include any major changes to the proposed scope
of the project. Please outline any problems you may have encountered that resulted in
delays to the delivery of the activity.
The project was well received from all stakeholders and the project objectives were
achieved. Forty-six speakers and participants from 12 APEC economies contributed to the
workshop (Australia; China; Indonesia; Japan; Malaysia; New Zealand; The Philippines;
Singapore; Chinese Taipei; Thailand; USA and Viet Nam). The followings have derived
from the presentations and group discussions: 1) The opportunities of lighting design
research for sustainable development 2) Research focus areas in APEC region 3)
Recommendations on a model for effective lighting design center as well as a framework on
next steps for the development of national lighting design centers in interested APEC
economies.
3.
Evaluation: Describe how you evaluated the project upon completion? Detail
the results of the evaluations conducted, if any (e.g. participant evaluation, peer review of
publication, measurement of indicators, statistics demonstrating use of outputs etc.).
The evaluation form was distributed at the workshop and some 75% was completed. Most
participants were satisfied with the workshop organization (e.g. venue, location, and
facilities) and activities of the workshop. However, there were a few comments on the
presentations of some speakers as well as the language barriers which may have affected
the exchange and discussions. Please see Appendix 1 for a summary of the participant
evaluation.
4.
Key findings: Describe the main outputs delivered and any broader outcomes
achieved as a result of this project. (For example have there been any capacity building
outcomes, policy or operational changes, or changes to standards or systems as a result of
this activity?) Describe how project outputs relate to fora/sub fora/working group strategic
and medium-term priorities and strategic priorities. Please provide examples of important
findings or lessons learned arising from the project.
The main outputs comprise of a shared vision and strategies for lighting research of national
lighting design centers in the APEC region and, particularly, a recommended model for
effective lighting design center. These have been developed into the process of five key
activities and objectives that could help accelerating the transfer of lighting best practice as
illustrated in Figure 1. It highlighted the partnership between a university-based lighting
center and the government/public sector as well as the industry as a key for identifying and
conducting market-driven R&D and developing demonstration projects. The dissemination
of knowledge and lighting best practice to the public through codes and standards was also
proposed to be another essential step.
Figure 1A recommended model for effective lighting design center
Moreover, examples of lighting best practice presented by the experts clearly demonstrated
that, with current lighting technologies, buildings with integrated design approach both
daylighting and artificial lighting consume 50% less lighting energy use than that described
in ASHRE 90.1. Specifically, it was suggested that more research and appropriate
application of LED technology and demand-responsive lighting controls, further energy
savings can be achieved and light pollutions can be reduced. In addition to the reduction of
energy use and GHG emissions, which are the main priorities of the Energy Working Group,
the opportunities of lighting design research also include sustainable social and economics
development.
In particular, lighting research on LED standards and innovative products supported by the
government of Chinese Taipei has played an important role in building competitiveness for
its LED industry, one of the world’s major suppliers. Due to rapid urbanization in developing
APEC economies, urban lighting research for towns and cities across China and Viet Nam
have been considered as an essential tool to create safe and pleasant night-time
environment for residents as well as to promote local economy and tourism.
Also, as a broader outcome of this project, a network of lighting experts and stakeholders in
the APEC region has been formed. This is indeed very encouraging as it will allow
universities and their partners to leverage opportunities and maximize their impact through
further exchanges and collaborations.
Next steps: Describe any follow-up steps or projects that are planned following the
completion of the activity, such as post-activity evaluations or tracer studies planned
to assess the impact of this activity. Have the results of the activity been
disseminated to participants and other stakeholders and how? What are (if any) any
flow-on effects from this activity? How will this activity inform any future APEC
activities?
A framework on next steps for the development of national lighting design centers in
interested APEC economies as well as follow-up activities as a supporting mechanism was
proposed and shown in the lower and the upper part of Figure 2 respectively.
Figure 2A Framework on Next Steps and Follow-up Activities
Five steps for economies interested in developing a national lighting center include:
1. Establish clear mission
2. Establish partnerships (public and private sector and/or a university partner)
3. Establish a university lighting center
4. Develop key projects with industry
5. Establish at least 5 - year plan and an advisory board
Additionally, the lighting experts have agreed to establish an advisory committee to support
these initial steps. Eleven experts did volunteer as the committee and have facilitated the
following activities:
1. Gather and disseminate information through the project website, now managed
by KMUTT
2. Establishing a knowledge-sharing platform, possibly using the existing one
supported by Chinese Taipei and managed by the US (University of
Pennsylvania).
3. Explore a mechanism to allow equipment sharing with well-established lighting
laboratories
4. Explore funding opportunities to organize a regular forum to share and
exchange on successful translational activities and projects in the APEC region
So far, there have been a few first steps forward. There is a progress on developing lighting
centers in Singapore (Singapore Lighting Technology Center) and Thailand (Lighting
Research and Innovation Centre), both of which set to launched in 2015. There are also
reports of initial meetings between the lighting experts who participated in the workshop and
key stakeholders in Indonesia and Malaysia. Further collaborations on lighting design
research and education (daylighting in the tropics and lighting efficiency) have been
discussed by the experts from Thailand, China, and Malaysia.
Feedback for the Secretariat: Do you have any suggestions for more effective
management of projects in the future? Any assessment of consultants, experts or
participants that you would like to share? (The Secretariat collates and examines
feedback to identify trends for ongoing evaluation of our project management and/or
communications systems.)
The Secretariat provided clear instructions on the provision of the project consultant and
with the participant travel. The Overseer particularly appreciated the ability of the Secretariat
to be flexible in making the travel arrangement work quickly with the final
speakers/participants.

APPENDIX 4: AGENDA
Meeting of Minds: Translating Lighting
Design Research into Practice
A roundtable conference hosted at King Mongkut's University of Technology
Thonburi for the APEC Expert Group on Energy Efficiency and Conservation
Workshop to support the development of national lighting design centers in
APEC region
5-6 September 2013
Chatrium Hotel Riverside, Bangkok, Thailand
Agenda
Introduction
Purpose of the meeting:
To better understand how to effectively translate lighting design research into
practice with a university research center model based on input from regional
experts.
Specific agenda items:
1) Understand the potential of lighting design research by examining
examples of ongoing lighting research from regional experts
2) Learn from effective collaboration models and operational strategies of
the successful translational lighting centers
3) Generate strategies that will allow university’s regional lighting
technology centers, including the one at KMUTT, to effectively
translate lighting research into practice
Driving forces:
The energy used in the operation of buildings contributes to almost 40 percent of
greenhouse gas emissions. Electric lighting is a major constituent of this overall
energy use; as such, best-practice lighting strategies and technologies represent one
of most effective near-term opportunities to reach ambitious goals for energy
efficiency and greenhouse gas mitigation.
Advanced lighting technologies and best-practice design have shown great promise
for achieving energy efficiency in the operation of buildings. Adaptive lighting
controls, daylighting and solid-state technology represent just a few of the emerging
technologies and best practices that can achieve very large savings in the operation
of buildings.
Despite these compelling reasons to embrace energy-efficient lighting, the uptake of
new technologies and design practices has typically been slow. This slow rate of
market transformation is principally due to knowledge and experience barriers
within the lighting design industry. Universities are in an ideal position to bridge
this knowledge barrier by engaging both the profession and the industry in a range
of different activities that translate lighting design research into practice and
accelerate broader adoption of best-practice technologies. These activities, which
include education, research, demonstration, and testing, can all be supported in a
regional center of expertise.
Research and demonstration centers have proven to be quite effective at translating
lighting design research into practice; our long-term objective is to establish such
regional centers in APEC region.
Format and organization:
The roundtable meeting of experts will focus on the two specific components of the
two-day program:
1)
2)
Lighting design research opportunities for sustainable design
Recommendations on how potential universities and KMUTT could
develop regional lighting centers
The “Meeting of Minds” roundtable will be organized around a series of
presentations from each invited expert, addressing these two components. We are
asking that the invited experts talk about their specific experience advancing and
developing a lighting research agenda. The concept here is to share experiences and
opportunities to achieve sustainable lighting design. Specific focus will be placed on
translation and technology transfer and how the individual researchers have moved
their research into the professional marketplace.
We would also like each invited expert to specifically address recommendations for
establishing and developing activities for national lighting design centers by
interested economies. Here we would like to see specific ideas relative to research
directions, activities, infrastructure, programming, and funding that could be helpful
in the planning and development of a long-term proposal.
Key questions relative to establishing a university-based lighting center:
· What areas of lighting research should the center focus on?
· What major activities (research, demonstration, education, etc.) should it
engage in?
· What kind of laboratories will be required as part of a lighting center?
· What relationship should the center have with the lighting design profession?
· What relationship should the center have with industry and with the
government?
· How can universities work together and leverage opportunities to maximize
impact?
· What funding models will best serve the lighting center in meeting its goals?
· Who should manage the center’s projects, and who should serve as advisors
(board of directors)?
