Knowledge of design principles begins with a fundamental understanding of light sources. This class will cover not only current lamp sources, (incandescent, halogen, fluorescent, HID), but the emerging technologies as well, such as induction, plasma, LED's and OLED's. Comparisons between initial and operating costs will be covered, as well as different performance characteristics between each type. This is a beginner class, intended for anyone needing an introduction to those products, their use, and the terminology specific to technologies; e.g., CCT, CRI, L/W, LLD, BF, PF, etc.

Instructor: Jeff Robbins, LC, MIES

Lunch is included with class registration.

Using typical application examples, and proceeding phase by phase through the construction timeline, this class will cover the fundamental components involved in the lighting design process. Topics will include: Lighting Quality, Lighting Quantity, the Task/Ambient/Accent approach, Daylighting Controls, and Energy Code issues. The information, ideas, and techniques demonstrated in this class can be used immediately to help make informed lighting decisions. This is a beginner class, intended for those with no previous lighting design experience.
