EPA Revises the ENERGY STAR Advanced Lighting Package (ALP)

EPA has recently announced that they have revised the ALP definition to simplify the package to increase builder
adoption. The ALP is referenced in the National Association of Home Builders' Green Home Building Guidelines and the
U.S. Green Building Council's LEED for Homes rating system, and has been praised by many builders as a way to
distinguish themselves and their homes in the marketplace. However, EPA felt that the criteria had caused builder
confusion and slowed adoption.

ALP Definition

• Lighting packages that consist of a minimum of 60% ENERGY
STAR qualified fixtures now meet the ENERGY STAR Advanced
Lighting Package. Note: M ceiling fans and ceiling fans with
lighting must meet ENERGY STAR.
