SUMMARY:Power Over Ethernet Online
DESCRIPTION:The digital nature of LED technology brings illumination and IT together\, allowing lighting systems to participate in the Internet of Things. \nWhy use Power over Ethernet (PoE)? \nTime 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 Contractor if an IT team can manage the connections. Network cables do not require high voltage and can be located anywhere. \nFlexibility – Easily adapts new lighting strategies at the touch of a button. The systems are scalable and most any device or system can be included. A dashboard could be populated not just with a lighting system data\, but other systems such as cameras\, phones\, HVAC\, etc. The platform allows for interoperability of all systems that are connected. \nSafety – Little to no risk of electrical injuries when installing since high voltage is not present and risk of fire is reduced \nReliability –System is controlled by a central source rather than a collection of distributed circuits\, reducing failures.  It can also be supported by a Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS). \nInformation – Real-time data that can be collected/stored/mined and can report in real time any and all anomalies for better facility management. \nLEARNING GOALS \n\nReview the key benefits and applications for PoE Lighting technologies\nGain awareness of the current state of the PoE lighting industry\, the key technical and policy standards governing it\, and the major players in the market\nUnderstand the base architecture of a PoE Lighting system\, its components and the connectivity requirements\, and its scalability potential\nDiscern the PoE Lighting role in a smart building ecosystem

SUMMARY:What Went Wrong?
DESCRIPTION: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\, and an endless integration potential. \nThat being said\, is there potential to make mistakes? (That’s a big YES) \nHindsight is 20/20\, as people say. On September 22nd\, 2020\, we invite you to learn from the mistakes of three seasoned lighting professionals in a live panel-based webinar. The panelists will dissect key avoidable issues across different stages of their past lighting projects. Come ready to identify common lighting system design and implementation pitfalls through real examples\, understand why and what went wrong\, and more importantly\, leverage strategies to proactively overcome these obstacles. \nJoin moderator Armando Berdiel with panelists Shaun Darragh and Daniel Salinas for this enlightening webinar!

SUMMARY:Promoting Energy Efficient Lighting Systems
DESCRIPTION: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? \nHas your Networked Lighting Control (NLC) system design been downscaled to a simple wallbox solution? \nAll too often\, new construction and renovation projects undergo value engineering which can lower up-front costs and make the project seem more approachable. Unfortunately\, this practice frequently leads to overspending in post-installation support\, not meeting stakeholder expectations\, decreasing quality\, and significant energy savings and non-energy benefits value being left on the table. \nWhile industry actors have made significant investments in outreach\, education\, and incentive programs to promote appropriate design adoption\, significant barriers still exist. This class will delve into these barriers as well as provide a set of tools\, techniques\, to help Lighting Practitioners ensure the most appropriate design highlighting quality and comfort is implemented in their projects. These tools and techniques will include: \n\nLighting Audit\nEfficient Financial Statements\nEnergy and non-Energy Benefits\nQualifying Questions\nUse Cases\nDesign Options with Estimates\nElevator Sales Pitch\n\nWho Should Attend\nThis workshop is suitable for lighting practitioners\, including designers\, contractors\, building operators\, architects\, engineers\, sales representatives\, as well as utility staff. \nLearning Goals \n\nEvaluate “good\, better\, best” approaches\, and how to navigate between them\nAnalyze energy savings and non-energy technological value that LEDs and NLCs can provide\nUnderstand techniques\, tools\, and resources on how to advance energy efficiency projects\nExplore use cases that highlight overspending resources post-completion\, and how appropriate design execution mitigates this risk

SUMMARY:Introduction to Codes & Standards
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis class will look not only at current Energy Codes\, but will see how LEED\, Well Building\, NFPA\, IES and others\, all influence the lighting design process. When understood and used creatively these codes and standards can provide a framework toward an energy efficient and sustainable design. \nLearning Goals \nAt the end of the class\, participants will: \n\nIdentify the major aspects of Energy Code Lighting Power Allowances.\nKnow the key differences between interior and exterior spaces.\nIdentify the primary sections of the Energy Code Controls Requirements.\nUnderstand the Additional Energy Code Options.\nSee how other Codes\, Standards\, and Recommendations fit into a comprehensive design process.

SUMMARY:Audit & Retrofit Techniques
DESCRIPTION: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 will enable you to identify where to put most of your efforts. \nOnce the audit is evaluated\, it is time to start considering the most appropriate lighting options. Whether to retrofit\, replace\, or redesign are serious decisions to make\, and they will have implication on the costs\, energy savings\, and productivity of the resulting lighting system. No one approach is right for every project. If the project is dependent on utility participation\, there may be other factors to consider as well. \nAttendees of this class will gain access to the following tools to assist them on a variety of lighting upgrades projects. \n\nHow to evaluate your existing lighting system.\nKnowing what areas are most important to focus on.\nUnderstanding when to retrofit the existing fixtures\, and when they should be replaced.\nLearning the opportunities to add controls to the lighting project.\nHow to leverage utility incentives to maximize your savings.
