NALCTP SUPPORTS ENERGY EFFICIENCY GOALS

Commercial buildings account for more than 40 percent of the electrical load. 35% of the commercial load is made up of interior and exterior lighting.
Advanced lighting controls can help balance future electrical supply and demand that is required in energy efficiency policies.
NALCTP EDUCATES CONSUMERS

A broad partnership between utility companies, manufacturers, electricians, lighting designers and electrical contractors is leading to improvements in the design and installation of advanced lighting controls.
Proper design and installation creates enormous costs savings which is increasing consumer demand.
NALCTP SAVES ENERGY

Commercial buildings can save up to 40% in energy savings by simply turning lights off in unoccupied offices, conference rooms, and restrooms during business hours.
The expansion of advanced lighting controls is essential for the development of a highly reliable and efficient electric smart grid system.
NALCTP CREATES JOBS

NALCTP certified general electricians understand how the mechanics behind the technology as well as how to properly install the devices. Resulting in increased use of lighting controls and more employment opportunities for those trained NALCTP-certified.
