The purpose of the  Lighting California's Future "Market Connection" effort is to shape and support technology development and early deployment efforts in order to accelerate the technology diffusion process and  help meet codes and standards including Title 24, IESNA, ASHRAE, and LEED.

The ultimate outcome of the market connections element is broad market adoption of the lighting products developed within the LCF program, including codes and standards covering qualified products. As technical projects become available for initial field pilots, team members will develop and provide project specific information to California utility emerging technology programs and the University of California/California State University Energy Efficiency Partnership Program, and other similar groups.

Led by New Buildings Institute with coordinated efforts from the California Lighting Technology Center, Architectural Energy Corporation, and SDV/ACCI.

Alliances and partnerships include:

•California utilities demonstration/evaluation/program support
•State/local agencies: UC/CSU system pilots
•Federal agencies: Federal Network for Sustainability
•Private sector- innovative business leaders
•US Green Building Council - LEED
•NBI- Advanced Lighting Guidelines

The program provides content for web sharing at the Lighting Portal, Design Lights, Lighting Lab.
