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 […]
One of the top priorities of building owners and operators is the need for more efficient and accurate BTU metering. Having good and reliable information can help reduce the amount of energy used, by operating more efficiently. This can help reduce operational costs and recover revenue from inaccurate billing. Since the early 1980’s ultrasonic clamp-on Flow […]
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, […]
Energy and water efficiency upgrades in public housing can free up operating funds while reducing tenant utility bills and improving resident health and comfort. However, Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) face persistent financial barriers that often prevent them from accessing capital for retrofits. This webinar will present innovative solutions from three PHAs that successfully financed efficiency […]
This webinar will discuss innovative financing options for energy efficiency projects in commercial buildings including power purchase agreements (PPAs), property assessed clean energy (PACE) bond financing, on-bill financing, and energy service performance contracting (ESPC). Building Operator Certification (BOC) offers live instructional webinars throughout the year to keep you informed on the dynamic field of facilities management. […]
Please join us for a live webinar on September 24 to learn more about the critical role utility regulators can play in cutting emissions from the buildings sector and ushering in a new era of clean, affordable, sustainable homes and offices. • Mike Henchen, principal at RMI, report co-author • Sherri Billimoria, senior associate at […]
NBI has been tracking the zero energy building sector for over a decade and our annual Zero Energy Buildings List is just about complete, with nearly 700 zero energy verified and emerging buildings being tracked! Join NBI’s Alexi Miller and Kevin Carbonnier as they share the status of the zero energy market in the United States and Canada, including […]
There’s a lot of buzz about the benefits of luminaire level lighting controls (LLLC), from space flexibility to simplicity of installation and beyond. Now, a new research study shows LED retrofits with luminaire level lighting controls have the potential for big energy savings and high quality of light – but without the big price tag. […]
Hear from Industry Experts on their environments regarding safety, new normals, short and long term expectations.
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 […]
This webinar will explore the impacts and success stories of commercial property assessed clean energy (PACE) financing, better known as CPACE, 10 years since the completion of the first CPACE project. Attendees will hear the story of CPACE’s growth and growing pains, learn about new research on prevailing practices for tracking impacts from CPACE programs, […]
Zero energy school construction is a growing trend across the country. An innovative combination of internal and external champions, integrated design, energy efficiency management strategies and renewable energy is making these possible at little to no extra cost. The key to achieving zero energy is drastic energy reduction and cost shifting to areas that pay […]
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 […]
Building off of the Better Buildings Accelerator of the same name, part two of the Sustainable Wastewater Infrastructure of the Future (SWIFt) Initiative brings wastewater facilities together with DOE experts to work towards both short-term and long-term energy savings. Attendees will learn about the types of technical assistance available through SWIFt 2.0, including energy data […]
