EPRI software for lighting professionals
LightPAD{trademark} is a portable audit and design (PAD) tool for evaluating retrofit lighting options. It is designed specifically to assist utility lighting auditors and audit contractors. Version 1.0 was released in December 1992. Version 2.0 has been redesigned to operate in Windows and to work on a light-weight, pen-based tablet computer. The design for Version 2.0 focused on making the program very user-friendly to pen users in the field, more intuitive to first-time users, and more process oriented than Version 1.0. LightPAD{trademark} 2.0 allows users to access all the program`s audit, retrofit, and analysis functions from three key screens. Users navigate from screen to screen with the simple touch of a pen. The program may also be used to automatically write out four files (the base and three alternates) for a project, containing the total building kW houly profiles for the lighting systems developed in LightPAD{trademark}. These files may then be imported into the COMTECH{trademark} program to perform more complex financial analysis and to integrate the lighting system into a total building system audit.
