The result is a more energy and cost efficient lighting product

Zero Energy Building Research Alliance -- is a collaborative effort among Schaad LLC, The Tennessee Valley Authority, the Department of Energy and the Oak Ridge Labs to field-evaluate two pairs of energy-saving residences. It will demonstrate energy conservation efforts that can reduce the load on the existing electrical grid and curb dependence on non-renewable energy sources throughout the project. Energy use, lighting quality and maintenance requirements will be monitored for two years. Data from the house outfitted with Seoul Semiconductor’s Acriche LEDs will be compared against that of a house using compact fluorescent lights.

Seoul Semiconductor’s unique Acriche LED is featured in solid state lighting installed throughout an energy-saving home at the ZEBRAlliance, and were chosen for the trend-setting house because they do not use electronics to convert AC line voltage into DC as do most other solid state lighting devices. The result is a more energy- and cost efficient lighting product.

In addition, LEDs outlast conventional light bulbs – providing more than five times the light for each watt consumed when compared with a typical incandescent light for an energy savings up to 86% -- and exhibit color qualities far preferable to those of traditional bulbs. Acriche will continuously evolve its performance to double its lumen by end of this year.
