Enabling (Bio) Materials: Feasibility Study for its Implementation in Development of Sustainable Lighting Product

Abstract:

For global sustainability development, energy efficiency is always a key element. Especially with fast progress and adoption of LED technology in recent years, which offers superior energy efficiency and design possibilities, lighting secured its center role in sustainable innovation. However, to achieve significant energy saving as eco-design for lighting product/system, we need to constantly look beyond current product architecture and platforms. One of the key options is focusing on innovative material that enables improvements on both current architecture and future designs. In this paper, we will present the study of several bio-based materials and an innovative reflective coating that potentially to realize this contribution in eco-design.
