Seoul Semiconductor's Acriche A3 AC LED is supporting ZEBRAlliance's project to boost the energy efficiency of residential lighting.
ZEBRAlliance stands for the Zero Energy Building Research Alliance,is a collaborative effort among Schaad LLC, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Department of Energy and the Oak Ridge Labs to field-test two pairs of energy saving residences. It aims to spotlight energy conservation efforts that can reduce the load on the existing electrical grid and curb dependence on non-renewable energy sources. Energy use, lighting quality and maintenance requirements will be monitored for two years.
It's reported that data from the house outfitted with Seoul Semiconductor's Acriche LEDs will be compared against that of a house using compact fluorescent lights, and the results will help buildings, lighting designers and homeowners make energy-saving lighting decisions.
