SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BRIGHT Act (Pub. L. 117-202) requires
GSA to issue guidance to Federal agencies for the procurement and use
of the most life-cycle cost effective and energy efficient lighting
systems to increase the efficiency, effectiveness, and economy of the
Federal Government. The BRIGHT Act also requires GSA to publish on the
internet or otherwise make available to State, local, and Tribal
entities information on ways to improve efficiency, effectiveness, and
economy by procuring and using the most life-cycle cost effective and
energy efficient lighting systems (as determined in accordance with
section 3313 of title 40, United States Code).
This guidance offers best practices and outlines different types of
light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures and control options, how they can
benefit buildings and occupants, and where they are best suited. The
guidance covers the different types of LED installations, including
tubular LEDs, retrofit kits, and new fixtures, and focuses on interior
linear lighting because such systems represent the majority of lighting
within the federal real estate portfolio. The guidance also discusses
the decisions that need to be made in selecting a control system that
complies with applicable code, project objectives, energy savings, and
enhanced performance capabilities, and presents lessons learned from
evaluations conducted by GSA's Green Proving Ground program and other
real-world federal building deployments.
