CTA's Industry Research Reports

CTA divides its efforts between discrete advisory and research engagements that are executed for clients and broader industry white papers that are periodically published and made widely available for the market advancement of renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions. In early collaboration with municipalities as well as owners, operators, operators, developers, and users of real estate, CTA identified building efficiency and distributed generation as key areas for improving the energy usage and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of real estate infrastructure and cities.

To date, CTA has published two industry white papers, Lighting Controls: Savings, Solutions, Payback and Vendor Profiles and LED Lighting: Benchmarking Report. CTA is currently working on three other reports: Network-Based Plug Load Control Solutions, Total Building Energy Management Systems and Distributed Generation in the Urban Environment.  Sign up below to be notified of their publication.  If you are a vendor and seek inclusion in these reports, please contact us.

Lighting Controls: Savings, Solutions, Payback and Vendor Profiles

Cleantech Approach’s independent research employs a unique mix of technology and financial analysis oriented toward identifying market-ready, sustainable technologies and strategies. In this report, we take a detailed look at another technology that offers a tremendous energy saving opportunity for commercial offices, lighting controls. In order to help municipalities, large property owners, and businesses better understand this opportunity, we offer a detailed review of the industry players, the technologies employed, and the potential electricity savings and financial payback resulting from investment in lighting control solutions. To help our readers better understand the range of solutions and providers, we have included detailed profiles of key lighting control solutions vendors and their respective brands: Acuity Brands (Synergy, SensorSwitch, Lighting Control & Design), Adura Technologies, Cooper Controls, Delmatic, Encelium, EnOcean, Leviton Manufacturing, Lumenergi, Lutron, Philips (Dynalite, Lightolier Controls), Schneider Electric, Universal Lighting Technologies, and WattStopper.

LED Lighting: Benchmarking Report

Cleantech Approach’s research provides municipal and global development organizations with the market analysis they require to devise viable sustainable technology-enabled strategies. In this report, we take a detailed look at a market that offers cities a tremendous energy saving opportunity, solid state lighting (SSL), with a focus on LEDs (light emitting diodes). Through our rigorous benchmarking analysis of SSL solutions versus their conventional lighting counterparts (incandescent, halogen, CFL, linear fluorescent, and metal halide) across three different end-markets (residential, commercial office, and retail), we have determined the markets in which SSL solutions outperform, their relative costs of operation, and their payback periods.
