The process of developing and documenting a lighting design can vary widely depending on the project type and scale, and on the manner in which it is being delivered. Regardless of the project, there are common steps to be undertaken for all successful lighting projects if we are to maximize the performance of our buildings […]
The advent of LED lighting has caused a seismic shift in the lighting industry, creating a renewed interest in how to best upgrade the lighting in existing buildings. One of the best places to start is to do an inventory of what your current lighting system is and what its strengths and weaknesses are. This […]
There can be a dizzying array of influences on any lighting project. Beyond design and budget constraints, there are a wide range of codes and standards that will affect the ultimate selection of lighting fixtures and controls. This class will look not only at current Energy Codes, but will see how LEED, Well Building, NFPA, […]
Have you ever been involved in a project where the new LED fixtures have been value engineered out and replaced by retrofit kits, TLEDs, fluorescent technology, or disregarded from the project altogether? Has your Networked Lighting Control (NLC) system design been downscaled to a simple wallbox solution? All too often, new construction and renovation projects […]
The IESNA Design Guide 7-1994 reveals how lighting professionals must function simultaneously as engineers, artists, code experts, project coordinators, collaborators, administrators, advocates, and evaluators. Today, the same lighting professionals must also be well-versed in the emerging technologies that lighting is expanding into or serving as infrastructure for: IoT, smart buildings, light and health, horticultural lighting, […]
The digital nature of LED technology brings illumination and IT together, allowing lighting systems to participate in the Internet of Things. Why use Power over Ethernet (PoE)? Time and cost savings – Reduce time and expense of installation when compared to typical high voltage installation; there is not an actual need to hire an Electrical […]
Lighting controls offer the opportunity to balance the visual environment, enhance space flexibility, and improve user satisfaction while saving significant amounts of energy, and improving maintenance cycles. Designing and implementing high quality control systems can also help to differentiate contractors and designers in a competitive marketplace. This class will build on the foundation of our […]
This class will review existing legacy as well as modern LED light sources and luminaires. Participants will learn the major characteristics of modern LED light sources and luminaires and how to effectively select and specify them for projects. This class will be suitable for newer lighting practitioners including designers, contractors, architects, engineers, building operators, sales […]
This course introduces the engineering fundamentals of central heat pump water heater systems and evaluates important design considerations, while also presenting the current landscape of market delivery, product availability and refrigerant technologies.
DAY 1 OF 4: This course dives deep into the science, technology, design and implementation of successful CHPWH systems. In addition to presenting available products, identifying key design challenges and exploring the fundamental concepts related to how these efficient systems interact with other building systems, this session will highlight essential maintenance practices, important control considerations […]
