Mod­ern soci­ety requires out­door light­ing for a vari­ety of needs, includ­ing safe­ty and com­merce. Klick­i­tat PUD rec­og­nizes this but advo­cates that any required light­ing be used wise­ly to min­i­mize the harm­ful effects of light pol­lu­tion. Before installing new light­ing, please con­tact your local munic­i­pal­i­ty for any out­door light­ing ordi­nances.

KPUD rec­om­mends that light­ing should:

• Only be on when need­ed
• Only light the area that needs it
• Be no brighter than nec­es­sary
• Min­i­mize blue light emis­sions
• Be ful­ly shield­ed (point­ing down­ward)

Types of Light

Most peo­ple are famil­iar with incan­des­cent or com­pact flu­o­res­cent bulbs for indoor light­ing, but out­door light­ing usu­al­ly makes use of dif­fer­ent, more indus­tri­al, sources of light. Com­mon light sources include low-pres­sure sodi­um (“LPS”), high-pres­sure sodi­um (“HPS”), met­al halide and light-emit­ting diodes (“LEDs”). LPS is very ener­gy effi­cient, but emits only a nar­row spec­trum of pump­kin-col­ored light that some find to be unde­sir­able. Yet, LPS is an excel­lent choice for light­ing near astro­nom­i­cal obser­va­to­ries and in some envi­ron­men­tal­ly sen­si­tive areas.

HPS is com­mon­ly used for street light­ing in many cities. Although it still emits an orange-col­ored light, its col­or­ing is more “true to life” than that of LPS. In areas where it’s nec­es­sary to use white light, two com­mon choic­es are met­al halide and LEDs. One of the advan­tages of LED light­ing is that it can be dimmed. Thus, instead of always light­ing an emp­ty street or park­ing lot at full bright­ness, LEDs can be turned down, or even off, when they aren’t need­ed and then brought back to full bright­ness as nec­es­sary. This fea­ture both saves on ener­gy and reduces light pol­lu­tion dur­ing the night.

Because of their report­ed long life and ener­gy effi­cien­cy, LEDs are rapid­ly com­ing into wide­spread use, replac­ing the exist­ing light­ing in many cities. How­ev­er, there are impor­tant issues to con­sid­er when mak­ing such a con­ver­sion.  

Color Matters

It is impor­tant to have ful­ly shield­ed light­ing, but we now know that the col­or of light is also very impor­tant. Both LED and met­al halide fix­tures con­tain large amounts of blue light in their spec­trum. Because blue light bright­ens the night sky more than any oth­er col­or of light, it’s impor­tant to min­i­mize the amount emit­ted. Indus­try stan­dards for dark sky rec­om­mend using light­ing that has a col­or tem­per­a­ture of no more than 3000 Kelvins.

Light­ing with low­er col­or tem­per­a­tures has less blue in its spec­trum and is referred to as being “warm.” High­er col­or tem­per­a­ture sources of light are rich in blue light. Indus­try stan­dards for dark sky rec­om­mend that only warm light sources be used for out­door light­ing. This includes LPS, HPS and low-col­or-tem­per­a­ture LEDs. In some areas, the white light of even a low-col­or-tem­per­a­ture LED can be a threat to the local night­time envi­ron­ment. In those cas­es, LPS or nar­row-spec­trum LEDs are pre­ferred choic­es.

Duct Sealing

In hous­es with forced-air heat­ing and cool­ing sys­tems, ducts are used to dis­trib­ute con­di­tioned air through­out the house. In a typ­i­cal house, how­ev­er, about 20 per­cent of the air that moves through the duct sys­tem is lost due to leaks, holes, and poor­ly con­nect­ed ducts. The result is high­er util­i­ty bills and dif­fi­cul­ty keep­ing the house com­fort­able, no mat­ter how the ther­mo­stat is set. A duct sys­tem that is well-designed and prop­er­ly sealed can make your home more com­fort­able, and ener­gy effi­cient.

Refer to the Heat­ing & Cool­ing rebate pack­et above for eli­gi­bil­i­ty and require­ments.

Agri­cul­ture is an impor­tant part of Klick­i­tat Coun­ty. Our region is con­sis­tent­ly chal­lenged with long droughts and water short­ages. Irri­ga­tors have a unique oppor­tu­ni­ty to help mit­i­gate these water short­ages, increase irri­ga­tion uni­for­mi­ty, decrease the amount of water and fer­til­iz­er required, all while using less ener­gy.

Irrigation Hardware Upgrades

New sprin­klers, noz­zles, reg­u­la­tors, and gas­kets, can reduce the pres­sure required at the pump, save water, improve water appli­ca­tion uni­for­mi­ty, and save ener­gy. As equip­ment wears out, mak­ing the switch to more ener­gy-effi­cient hard­ware is one of the eas­i­est ways to start sav­ing water and pow­er.

New Construction Manufactured Home — The Northwest Energy-Efficient Manufactured Housing Program (NEEM)

The North­west Ener­gy-Effi­cient Man­u­fac­tured Hous­ing Pro­gram known as NEEM is a col­lab­o­ra­tive effort between home­builders, retail­ers, and util­i­ties across the north­west that cer­ti­fies the most ener­gy-effi­cient man­u­fac­tured homes built. The NEEM Pro­gram’s objec­tive third-par­ty qual­i­ty assur­ance means homes per­form as what is called “Effi­cien­cy Cer­ti­fied.”

Qual­i­fy­ing new con­struc­tion man­u­fac­tured homes must be elec­tri­cal­ly heat­ed, instal­la­tion com­plet­ed with occu­pan­cy per­mit, active KPUD util­i­ty account, and be cer­ti­fied with the NEEM Ener­gy Star com­pli­ance require­ments of ver­sions 1.1, 2.0 or NEEM+.

With these addi­tion­al funds, com­bined with our exist­ing rebate pro­gram, we aim to cov­er most, if not all, of the costs for these approved instal­la­tions.
