DOE, Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP), and others have identified residential recessed downlights (also known as recessed cans) as an energy-intensive product in need of design improvements. A recent NEEP survey found that new single-family homes have, on average, 23 cans per home. Heavy use of recessed cans in new and remodeled homes is contributing to the rapid growth of residential lighting energy use, estimated to be about 1500 kWh per year per household. Technology procurement is a method to "pull" new technologies and products into the marketplace through competitive procurements backed by large volume buyers.
