GPP Training toolkit 7.8. Road lighting and traffic signals

This toolkit module provides an overview of the strategic aspects, needs assessment, and environmental impacts of EU GPP criteria for road lighting and traffic signals. It covers topics such as carbon emissions, resource efficiency, wildlife impact, energy consumption, and more. The module also outlines the scope of the criteria for road lighting and traffic signals, as well as the verification process and relevant legislation.

  1. GPP Training toolkit7.8. Road lighting and traffic signals

  2. GPP Training Toolkit Module 2: Strategic Aspects of GPP Module 4: Needs Assessment Module 1: Introduction Module 7: Operational (Road lighting and traffic signals ) Module 5: Circular Procurement Module 6: Preliminary Market Consultation Module 3: Legal Aspects of GPP Module 7.8 – Road lighting and traffic signals

  3. Environmental impacts How do street lighting (light, ballast, control gear, luminaires) impact the environment? • Carbon emissions: over 90% of environmental impact from energy consumption and associated GHG emissionsoccur in the use phase • Poor resource efficiency • Impact on wildlife species and lightpollution • Estimated energy consumption in 2005 for street lighting was 35 TWh for the EU25, representing approximately 1.3% of the final energy consumption of electricity in the EU25 Module 7.8 – Road lighting and traffic signals

  4. Scope What is included in the EU GPP Criteria for road lighting? • road lighting in new lighting installations; • retrofitting of different luminaires to existing lighting installations; • retrofitting of different light sources or controls to existing luminaires; Module 7.8 – Road lighting and traffic signals

  5. Scope What is included in the EU GPP Criteria for road lighting? (cont.) • Or the simple replacement of light sources, lamps or luminaires on a like-for-like basis in existing lighting installations. Module 7.8 – Road lighting and traffic signals

  6. Scope What is included in the EU GPP Criteria for traffic signals? • Red, yellow and green signal lights for road traffic with 200mm and 300mm roundels, in line with standard EN 12368 • Portable signal lights are specifically excluded. Module 7.8 – Road lighting and traffic signals

  7. Needs Assessment Assess the need for new installation or renovation of the existing lighting infrastructure Three key questions: • After evaluating actual needs based on the status of the plants, light pollution and safety, is a new plant necessary? • Can renovation of the existing plant ensure energy savings and reduce the environmental impact throughout the life cycle of the road lighting system? • Can the safety of circulation be improved by creating complementary or alternative lighting works such as signage, retarders, bollards, etc.? More information: Module 4: Needs Assessment Module 7.8 – Road lighting and traffic signals

  8. Overview EU GPP Road lighting approach • Luminaires, lamps or light sources that exceed minimum luminaire efficacies • Use of dimming and metering • Reduction of obtrusive light and glare • Obligatory dimming in areas of concern and limits on the proportion of blue light (G-index) in lamp/luminaire output. • Durable and fit-for-use road lighting equipment that is repairable and with warranty Module 7.8 – Road lighting and traffic signals

  9. Overview EU GPP Traffic signals approach • Life cycle cost of lighting equipment for traffic signalling • LED-based light sources: product lifetime, spare parts and warranty • Dimming controls Module 7.8 – Road lighting and traffic signals

  10. EU GPP Criteria Road Lighting and Traffic Signals (2018) Examples: • Selection criteria (SC) – design team and installation team shall have relevant competencies and experience • Technical specifications (TS) – the lighting equipment to be installed shall have a luminaire efficacy higher than the relevant reference value stated • Award criteria (AC) – points awarded to tenderers that are able to provide light sources or luminaires which exceed the minimum luminous efficacy defined in the technical specifications • Contract performance clauses(CPC) – contractor shall ensure that new or renovated lighting systems and controls are working properly For full criteria see: EU GPP Criteria for Road lighting and traffic signals Module 7.8 – Road lighting and traffic signals

  11. Verification What to ask for? When? Compliance with GPP criteria needs to be assessed both at the time of selection of best offer and during the contract execution phase and commissioning. Checking compliance with GPP criteria • Standard photometric file calculated according to EN standards • technical specifications on the light output and energy consumption • documentation from the manufacturer(s) • lighting software used to calculate • technical specifications of the metering and measurement system • declaration of compliance • tests carried out in accordance with IEC 61000-3-2 • light spectra of all lamps For full verification instructions see: EU GPP Criteria for Road lighting and traffic signals Module 7.8 – Road lighting and traffic signals

  12. Legislation supporting GPP Directives related to street lighting systems • Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 874/2012 of 12 July 2012 supplementing Directive 2010/30/EU of European Parliament and of the Council with regard to energy labelling of electrical lamps and luminaires. • Directive on the Restrictions of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (2011/65/EU) • Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) (2012/19/EU) • Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) 2012/27/EU More information in: • CommissionDelegatedRegulation 874/2012 • Directive 2011/65/EU • Directive 2012/19/EU and Directive 2012/27/EU Module 7.8 – Road lighting and traffic signals

  13. Market Availability How to identify sustainable products or services • Relevant labels and initiatives: • ENEC+ marking (European quality marking for electrical products) • (UNEP)-Global Environment Facility (GEF) enlighten initiative • Labels from the French ‘Association Nationale pour la Protection du Ciel et de l'Environnement Nocturne Module 7.8 – Road lighting and traffic signals

  14. LCC Kolding’s procurement of climate-friendly lighting solutions (City of Kolding, Denmark) Purchasing energy-efficient outdoor lighting in Cascais(Municipality Of Cascais, Portugal) Relevant LCC examples and guidance Module 7.8 – Road lighting and traffic signals

  15. Case Studies Purchasing energy efficient street lighting (City of Rotterdam, Netherlands) Energy performance contracting for efficient outdoor lighting Municipality of Jimena de la Frontera, Cádiz (Spain) GPP Helpdesk For further support on GPP, contact the EU’s free Helpdesk • Toolkit developed for the European Commission by ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability • Module Author: FondazioneEcosistemi • Owner, Editor: European Commission, DG Environment, 2019 • Photos: courtesy of Pixabay.com under Creative Commons CCO • Disclaimer: This toolkit is an indicative document of the Commission services and cannot be considered binding to this institution in any way.
