According to Department of Energy studies, industrial spaces consume nearly one-third of all energy used in the U.S. Estimates show that lighting in these industrial spaces to be of significant age, many 20 years or older. As upgrades are considered, lighting offers the fastest internal rate of return with the lowest investment. This course will explore the best lighting solutions for new and existing spaces. Participants will explore existing and emerging lamp technologies to understand the best approach to take for industrial applications. Further discussion will include lighting audits, incentives, economics, current legislation, and future innovation. This course is ideal for facilities managers, facilities owners, industrial consultants, energy service providers, engineers and all other industry consultants.

This two day workshop will focus on the design principles of lighting control integration within spaces to achieve desired ambiance as well as maximum energy savings. With the help of industry leading controls manufacturers, such as Hubbell Building Automation, Crestron, and Lutron, we will create hands on workshops covering sensor design, function, and applications. This class will include a dinner and a mini trade show in the evening that will display current solutions from participating controls companies and allow for interaction with their representatives.

This three-day workshop focuses on the fundamental principles of lighting, with specific attention on lamps and ballasts, terminology, light, sight and color, optical control, lighting calculations, and application principles. These basic topics are covered through hands-on training and real-world applications. Whether you are new to the lighting profession or a seasoned professional looking for a refresher, the topics within this course can greatly improve and enhance your lighting education needs.

The primary motivator for change in the lighting industry is the energy crisis. Oil, coal, gas & uranium have climbed to record high prices in the last few years. The cost of electricity has reached unprecedented levels. As the cost of generating power increases so does the return on investment in energy efficient appliances. Lighting fixtures are the single largest energy consuming appliance on any commercial utility bill. Lighting offers the fastest internal rate of return of any upgrade with the lowest investment. Utility rebates, EPAct tax incentives and annual energy savings turn any delay into a costly mistake. This 2-day course will provide training for industry consultants, facilities managers, and building owners on how conducting energy audits and developing maintenance strategies for existing facilities can be extremely beneficial in reducing energy costs and providing huge returns. Participants will be instructed on how to perform an energy audit and knowledge of the tools necessary to complete the task. Also discussed will be the incentives, rebate opportunities and current legislation that affects lighting applications.

This two day workshop will focus on the design basics and principles of the ever-changing demand of exterior lighting. Through a combination of legislation and applications you will learn techniques in path of egress lighting, dark skies, safety and security, and improvement of the urban environment. Examine current technologies in lamp, luminaire, and ballast technology to evaluate their operating characteristics.

From K-12 to higher education facilities, schools have multiple functions requiring different lighting solutions. Lighting needs vary from indoor requirements for the classroom to outdoor requirements on the sports field. This two-day workshop will discuss product solutions for indoor, outdoor, controls, life safety, and retrofit/relight applications. Curriculum will include best practices, design, legislation, and new technologies. This course will provide training for educational facilities personnel, school administrators, design/build firms, engineers, architects, designers, and other industry consultants.
