2022 IES-PNNL WEBINAR SERIES: TAMING COMPLEXITY

The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), in collaboration with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), is pleased to offer a special five-part free webinar series, “Taming Complexity.” Presented by PNNL experts and partners, this series will explore ongoing efforts to better understand and reduce the ever-growing complexity of advanced lighting systems.
THIS IES-PNNL WEBINAR SERIES IS FREE FOR ALL ATTENDEES.

Webinar: Taming Controls Complexity

September 1, 2022 12:00 PM ET

Challenges with configuration, commissioning, and maintaining control settings over time have slowed progress towards integrated lighting and building system controls. Overcoming such challenges can enable energy savings, adaptive lighting for occupant alertness and wellbeing, and better space management in buildings. This webinar will explore some practical solutions to address controls complexity, including development of a clear and concise sequence of operations, the use of controls narratives, and online tools and templates to make these solutions more accessible.

Webinar participants are eligible for one (1) IES Continuing Education Unit (CEU).

PRESENTERS:

Presentation on ANSI/IES RP-8-21 and TM-15-20, exploring the new rules for lighting outdoor spaces, and how we got here.

About this event
Webinar participants are eligible for one (1) IES Continuing Education Unit (CEU).

In creating ANSI/IES RP8-21, Recommended Practice for Design and Maintenance of Roadway and Parking Facility Lighting, the Illuminating Engineering Society, in chapter 17, changed the way we look at lighting in parking lots and parking garages. We are now able to conform with lower light levels if we have a better uniformity ratio. In this presentation we will explore this and some of the underlying studies that brought us to this point and the application of the standard.

We will also explore TM-15-20, Lighting Classification System, also know as BUG ratings. As part of this we will explain why the old cutoff rating system no longer exists for LED fixtures and absolute vs relative photometry, LM-79.

Presenter: Rick Gottlieb
Rick Gottlieb has been involved with LED lighting since it’s infancy. He was on Lumileds LED specification advisory council in 2003. He is a graduate of The Pennsylvania State University. He has been in the lighting and lighting controls industry for 25 years and has acted as vice president sales for two specification grade lighting manufacturers, regional sales manager for a lighting controls company and is now with Cooper Lighting Solutions serving as Director of Sales, Outdoor Products.

The Detroit Section has a proud history of being at the forefront of lighting design, and this year is no exception! There were a total of 6 submitted projects from our section We are proud to showcase this amazing work and the people behind the designs.

Join us from 12-1 on Tuesday, November 8th to see the presentation showcase of the great work being done by our lighting community.

Tickets: Free

Industry leaders, in a variety of lighting design specialties, discuss ways in which the training of young professionals can be pioneered for the field’s inevitable changes. Can existing programs create a larger, more qualified pool of young professionals via a “renaissance-like” approach to the lighting industry? Panelists will respond to audience engagement.

Webinar participants are eligible for one and a half (1.5) IES Continuing Education Unit (CEU).
