The potential of connected lightingCollective efforts required to integrate lighting in smart cities

• Once connected, public lighting could contribute even more than today to health, wellbeing and sustainability.

• Next-generation technology, and a revised policy framework for lighting practices, is a condition for smart city integration.

• Connectivity will ultimately unlock the full potential of digital lighting to enhance livability, improve economy and save resources.

Spectacular growth of energy consumptionThe need for accelerated adoption of breakthrough innovation

• Current energy consumption trends indicate the need for breakthrough innovation.

• World Energy Outlook projects spectacular 40% growth of energy consumption by 2030.

• Forward-thinking cities are taking action with >3,000 smart city projects initiated around the world.

Towards the ubiquitous connected communityThe enabling condition for urban efficiency improvement

• A tremendous inroad of internet-connected devices drives an increase of urban data traffic with more than 30% per year.

• Local communities seek to migrate as many public services as possible to an integrated ecosystem.

• Shipments of communications nodes for networked street lighting will rise from 550,000 this year to 4.8 million in 2020.

The saving opportunities of streetlightsMost public outdoor lighting overdue for replacement

• Over 25 million streetlights in the US consume up to 40% of the city’s electricity use, with CO2 emission equivalent to 2.6 million cars.

• The average streetlight fixture is in the US is more than 25 years old, many need to be replaced.

• Changing all US outdoor lighting to LEDs could prevent the emission of as much as 90 million metric tons of CO2.


Switching to LED lighting alone is not sufficientAdaptive lighting the single largest opportunity for saving • Although switching to LED lighting

alone results in 40-60% energy savings, it is still not sufficient to meet global targets for savings and sustainability.

• Adaptive and interoperable lighting is essential to bring cost and performance improvement to a next level of significance.

• Enabling LEDs to dynamically change lighting levels in response to local conditions, the total system energy savings can easily reach up to 80%. Source: Philips Lighting


Control systems to leverage digitalization of lightNext-generation control systems to enable interoperability

• Currently available lighting control systems turn out to be to complex to install, to scale and yet very expensive.

• Less than 1% of all our road and street lights is part of a network today.

• Pilots are vital to build experience and generate insight with new forms of connected lighting.


Early pilots and implementations | ChattanoogaTowards IP-platforms, each streetlight has its own IP address

• The city installs 26,000 induction and LED lamps with wireless endpoints providing two-way communication.

• The networked streetlights can be switched, dimmed or flashed in patterns, using a smart meter network for remote control.

• The system is expected to generate savings up to $2.7M annually.


Early pilots and implementations | San FranciscoImplementing a citywide network infrastructure first

• The SFPUC pilots a scalable wireless network to control street lights, parking spaces and meter pricing, manage electric vehicle charging stations, and more.

• Plans to leverage the upgrade of 18,000 LED street lights to carry an integrated, expandable, infrastructure for city monitoring and urban services delivery.

• Fully compliant to 6LoWPAN protocol; future services can be developed without the need to build additional wireless networks.


Early pilots and implementations | BarcelonaLighting intensity as a function of environmental changes

• EFFICity, a consortium of companies and research centers in Spain, conducting a pioneering project to transform cities into living organisms (...)

• Using street lighting as communication nodes and receivers connected to a sub-set of smart sensors.

• Luminaires and other devices will be autonomous in intended context-driven adaptability.


Enabling conditions for true integrationThe need to shift focus beyond traditional borders

• The lighting community, utilities and government need to facilitate the implementation of advanced solutions.

• Dedicated research initiated to the impact of adaptive and interoperable lighting applications on user-experience.

• New standards are being developed to drive interoperability of remote-controlled lighting systems (TALQ) or interaction of lighting with vehicles (NTCIP).


Interoperability to unlock the hidden efficienciesMeaningful solutions with connected (public) lighting

• Next-generation lighting applications will improve health and wellbeing in our cities today and in the future.

• Fully interoperable, and adaptive urban lighting systems will provide the required, smart and meaningful LED lighting solutions.

• IP-connectivity and interoperability will maximize public lighting’s contribution to livable, sustainable and economically sound environment.
