Lead the way in energy-efficient lighting solutions.

The Certified Lighting Efficiency Professional (CLEP™) certification recognizes experts who excel in designing and implementing lighting efficiency strategies across various sectors, including commercial, industrial, institutional, and governmental markets. CLEPs bring a high level of technical expertise, ethical conduct, and innovative thinking to their work, driving energy savings through advanced lighting systems and technologies.

The Role of a Certified Lighting Efficiency Professional
CLEPs are vital in understanding and improving the lighting efficiency of buildings. Whether retrofitting existing spaces with cutting-edge lighting technologies or designing efficient systems for new construction, CLEPs assess a building’s needs based on occupancy, space usage, and energy efficiency goals. They verify and evaluate the performance of lighting projects, considering the human factors, technologies, and financial incentives to deliver maximum return on investment (ROI).

Who Should Pursue CLEP Certification?

• Are you an energy manager responsible for planning and managing energy efficiency projects, including lighting systems?
• Are you a technical or operations engineer focused on reducing your building’s energy consumption and utility costs?
• Are you a consultant specializing in the energy efficiency of industrial or commercial facilities?

What a CLEP Does for Your Organization
CLEPs use their in-depth knowledge of lighting technologies to reduce energy consumption, cut costs, and ensure high-quality lighting in any environment. They work with LED technologies, traditional lamps and ballasts, and advanced control systems. CLEPs conduct detailed lighting audits, produce photometric reports, and calculate the financial benefits of lighting upgrades, ensuring that their projects deliver both energy savings and optimal lighting conditions.

CLEP Body of Knowledge
The CLEP certification covers a comprehensive range of topics critical to lighting efficiency, including:

• The Science of Light and Lighting Efficiency
• Lighting Quantity, Quality, and Health Impacts
• LED and Traditional Lighting Technologies
• Lighting Controls and Auditing
• Lighting Photometrics and Calculations
• Financial Analysis of Lighting Projects

Recognized Expertise
The CLEP credential is widely recognized in the industry and provides a pathway to advanced professional opportunities. CLEPs are also eligible for reciprocal certifications, such as the CLMC designation offered by the National Association of Lighting Management Companies® (NALMCO), without the need for additional exams. CLEPs can also advance through programs like NXT Level 1 Designation to further their lighting expertise.

Ensure you maintain your CLEP certification by tracking renewal requirements and participating in ongoing professional development. Stay informed and network with peers to remain at the forefront of lighting efficiency innovations.
