N2 - STUDENT PAPER. This paper discusses a novel method to Pre-qualify a Wireless Monitoring and Control System (WMACS) for Outdoor Lighting to Save Energy, Reduce Light pollution, Carbon Emissions, and Global Warming in the Built Environment. The WMACS can be used for various outdoor lighting applications. The first author is undertaking the proposed work as part of his Ph.D. at Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK. The proposed method is to pre-qualify a wireless network control system for the light-emitting diode (LED) lighting system to save energy, reduce light pollution and promote safety, health, wellbeing, and quality of life in the built environment. There is currently (2021) no standard method to pre-qualify a wireless control system for various applications in an outdoor built environment. This novel method is not replicated but original and can be considered an innovative method to pre-qualify a wireless control system for outdoor LED lighting systems. The paper discusses the selection method of a wireless control system for LED lighting in consideration of energy and cost savings, reduce carbon emission and global warming, sustainability, and the residents’ quality of life, and mitigating outdoor light pollution, including trespass lighting. This paper will be helpful for academics, researchers, scientists, engineers, consultants, architects, lighting designers, contractors, developers, financial institutions, and government offices funding and managing upgrades to outdoor lighting applications in the urban environment.
