Breakthrough in Office Lighting II

	AIA HSW and SD Approved - 1 LU Hour
GBCI	Approved by USGBC for 1 GBCI CE Hour toward credential maintenance for LEED Green Associates and LEED AP’s with Speciality

Program Summary

This one-hour program introduces a new ‘Best Practice’ in officelighting design. Learn how to use this breakthrough approach in sustainable office lighting design and bring dramatic energy savings, cost savings, and a balanced lighting aesthetic to your next design project. The program is a result of research conducted for the California Energy Commission (CEC) and Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) program.

Learning Objectives

Study the findings of a recent research project to:

• Identify immediate ways to increase energy efficiency and reduce construction costs.

• Develop proper objectives for lighting offices including:

- Light levels & uniformity goals

- Energy consumption

- Budgets

• Choose new luminaires in new ways to light the task, vertical surfaces, and ambient surroundings, to accomplish these objectives.

• Specify sustainable office projects by focusing on lighting.

Integrated Classroom Lighting System III

AIA HSW and SD Approved - 1 LU Hour

Program Summary

This one hour HSW LU program will review research projects conducted for the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) as well as the California Energy Commission (CEC). The research demonstrates the importance of high performance lighting systems on today’s learning environments. We will review the Integrated Classroom Lighting System template and demonstrate how this template is affordable, easy to implement, improves the learning environment, meets LEED and CHPS requirements, and drastically reduces school utility expenses.

Learning Objectives:

Using information gathered during research projects conducted for NYSERDA and the CEC the participant will be able to:

• Review and become familiar with research conducted by the NY State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) on the latest in high performance classroom design

• Understand how today's classrooms have changed and how to apply the necessary lighting design changes to meet the needs of the classroom and reduce energy consumption.

• Understand how the research findings relate to best practices put out by LEED for Schools and the Collaborative for High Performance Schools and which categories the architects will be able to achieve points.
