DC Smart Street Lights with LED and Remote Monitoring

District of Columbia streetlight data from a modernization project converting to LED technology. The project aims to reduce energy consumption by more than 50 percent and eliminate 38,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually. Data is provided by the District of Columbia via datagov and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Map streetlight locations and types based on the geospatial nature of the dataset.
• Model energy consumption reductions based on the described >50% efficiency gain from LEDs.
• Analyze infrastructure for safety improvements based on the description of better-directed light.
• Track greenhouse gas emission reductions based on the stated 38,000-ton annual elimination target.

Strengths

• Project quantifies a >50% reduction in streetlight energy consumption.
• Dataset states an annual elimination of 38,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
• Data is sourced from the authoritative District of Columbia government.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
