Lighting for Building Performance:

Improving the way buildings are designed, built and used

This half-day workshop gives participants the skills and tools to incorporate high performance lighting in their next project. Participants will also be able to demonstrate the features, benefits and costs of high performance strategies to clients and make a compelling case for energy efficient, sustainable design.

Who should attend?

• Architects
• Lighting contractors
• Electrical engineers
• Electrical contractors
• Lighting practitioners, manufacturers, distributors and representatives
• Utility representatives
• Anyone involved in new construction or lighting renovation projects

After this half-day training you will have the tools to:

• Use the Advanced Buildings resources to support high performance lighting design decisions on your next project
• Understand the impact of your lighting design on building performance, human productivity, equipment and operating costs
• Identify key design factors for high performance lighting, including: ambient and task lighting; daylighting integration; light sources; equipment choices; controls—occupancy and daylighting
• Make a compelling case for incorporating appropriate daylighting design strategies early in the design process.

You will receive these value-added resources:

• Advanced Buildings Benchmark™ ($52 value)
• Advanced Buildings Reference Guide™ ($44 value)
• Access to web-based tools, resources and materials available only to training participants
• Attendee manual

You will learn:

• How to select the most effective and efficient lighting for your projects
• To evaluate current state-of-the-art light sources and controls—and when to use what
• About applicable technologies for different lighting strategies—and the benefits of those technologies and strategies
• How to balance the interactions between daylighting and electric lighting
• How lighting design influences human performance
