Fall 2016 Course Descriptions

1- Introduction to Lighting Controls
This course includes basic methodologies and approaches for standalone and networked accessed lighting controls. We will cover controls technology in hardwired zones, and hardwired and wireless addressable systems.

2- Commercial Lighting Controls
With a more in-depth overview of controls technology, this course will define energy management, architectural and entertainment lighting controls systems. We will take a closer look at code issues, and real cost-savings of controls methodology and quantify the cost of lighting energy, including how to apply different system solutions to a given lighting strategy.

3- Improve Efficiency with Addressable Controls and DALI
This course will provide a thorough overview of analogue 0-10V to Digital Addressable Lighting Interface comparison in a wiring context, and provide an organized breakdown of addressable controls for daylighting, occupancy sensing and personal controls. We will take into consideration the difference between DALI and other addressable systems, and how DALI can meet the newest code standards.

4- LED MEGAtrends
As the LED lighting market continues to grow, the need to understand what’s driving that growth will be important to helping you meet customer needs. This course will cover three major drivers of the adoption of LED lighting, and how data analytics can improve a facility’s energy function and tenant comfort and satisfaction. We will review how integrated sensors can save energy, and how LED fixtures are equipped to meet current and future energy codes.

Blue Light Insight
With the recent release of the American Medical Association (AMA) Report on LED lighting, ongoing interest in blue light has increased. This level of interest has prompted a wave of information, misinformation and gray areas. This course will explore what issues are particular to high CCT (blue) light, design challenges (glare, etc.), LED technology (tuneability), and modern lifestyle, i.e., smartphones. Some of these are concerns as old as lighting itself and some are unique today. Although we will discuss some scientific research and medical concerns, this session will take a broader view to help decision makers sort through issues related to vision and spectrum in all areas of lighting.
