LEDs Are Lighting the Way--and Dropping in Price
Over the last 20 years, the Energy Star certified homes program has worked with builders to construct more than 1.6 million better, more energy efficient, homes. Tried-and-true strategies like air sealing and increased insulation form the core of our program, but we’re always looking for emerging technologies that will raise the bar on efficiency. One technology lighting the way towards more savings and better performance is LEDs. Today, most builders familiar with efficient lighting think CFLs. But the rapid pace of innovation, increased availability, and falling price of LEDs are likely to catch builders’ attention very soon.
