Bernecker, FIESNA, IALD, CIE-US Director/Founder, The Lighting Education Institute Exton, PA Read Bio   AUDIENCE: Architects, Interior Designers, Landscape Architects, Electrical Engineers, Energy Specialists, Educators, Facility Managers, Lighting Industry, Government & Agencies A different kind of lighting fundamentals, of fering learning through hands-on experience. This "immersion-type" course allows participants to explore concepts such as illuminance and luminance by measuring and experiencing these characteristics of lighting, along with developing a qualitative feel for differences in lighting quantities. Attendees will gain an understanding of the science of light, lighting measurement and vocabulary, human vision, perception, and color, and a foundation for understanding lamps and luminaires, lighting design criteria and other lighting topics. In this course, you will deve lop a sound understanding of lighting fundamentals, a qualitative feel for lighting characteristics and the differences in lighting quantities, and an appreciation of the importance of understanding lighting characteristics and components in the lighting design process. LEVEL: Basic COST: $450.00/$500.00 Keynote Luncheon Included Monday & Tuesday, 12:00PM-1:45PM LIGHTFAIR Institute #2 Intermediate Lighting 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (6 hours each day with Keynote Luncheon Included) Dee Ginthner Associate Professor University of Minnesota St. Paul, MN Read Bio   Fred Oberkircher Director, Center for Lighting Education TCU, Department of Design, Merchandise Fort Worth, TX Read Bio   Stefan R. Graf Design Director Illuminart Ypsilanti, MI Read Bio   AUDIENCE: Lighting Designers, Electrical Engineers, Energy Specialists, Educators, Lighting Industry, Government & Agencies This course will cover a broad array of important topics at the intermediate level and is designed for those with some lighting education (e.g. IESNA ED-100 or previous work in lighting) and want to raise their level of understanding. The major emphasis will be on the application of theory and principles using case studies. The team of instructors will provide varying points of view on lighting and their relation to lighting applications. The topics will include a review of fundamentals, vision, light sources, photometry, luminaries and optics, controls, sustainable design, light and health, design, and the business of lighting. The objectives for this course are to clarify, augment and raise the level of understanding of lighting fundamentals, to teach the technologies of lighting at the level sufficient to support professional practice and to understand the application of lighting at the level sufficient to support professional practice. The presentation will be a mix of lecture, in-session exercises and participatory experiences. LEVEL: Intermediate COST: $450.00/$500.00 Keynote Luncheon Included Monday & Tuesday, 12:00PM-1:45PM LIGHTFAIR Institute #3 The Luminous Analysis of Architecture 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (6 hours each day with Keynote Luncheon Included) David DiLaura, IALD, FIES Professor University of Colorado Boulder, CO Read Bio   AUDIENCE: Architects, Educators, Electrical Engineers, Energy Specialists, Facility Managers, Interior Designers, Landscape Architects, Lighting Designers, Lighting Industry, Representatives, Manufacturers. This institute describes in detail how light and architecture interact and teaches how architectural surfaces acquire their brightness and color. The presenter will provide an insight on how to change architecture or lighting equipment to achieve the desired result and how modern computer programs work. This course describes in the detail how light and architecture interact and teaches how architectural surfaces acquire their brightness and color. The presenter will provide an insight on how to change architecture or lighting equipment to achieve the desired result and how modern compute r programs work. Attendees will be taught through examples how to analyze a complicated space, understand how electric and day light moves through space, see the role surface size, orientation, and reflectance play by using provided complete system of graphics- based computer pro g rams; predict footcandles and produce computer renderings of rooms, translate interaction of light and architecture into simple mathematics, interpret mathematical results into spatial understating of space, and determine the illuminance, luminance, and color potentials of a space. Attendees will have use of a provided (to keep) graphics- based light and architecture computer program. Pre-requisites: Knowledge of mathematics at level of algebra. Bring your own PC laptop with Windows Operating System. All calculations will be performed with provided software. LEVEL: Masters COST: $450.00/$500.00 Keynote Luncheon Included Monday & Tuesday, 12:00PM-1:45PM LIGHTFAIR Institute #4 AGI32: Recommended Practices for Lighting Simulation 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (6 hours each day with Keynote Luncheon Included) Leora C. Radetsky, LC Training and Technical Marketing Lighting Analysts Littleton, CO Read Bio   AUDIENCE:Architects, Contractors, Distributor, Educators, Electrical Engineers, Energy Specialists, Landscape Architects, Lighting Designers, Lighting Industry, Representatives, Manufacturers Developed from well-received training courses, this course will provide insight into the use of both new and current features of the AGI32 calculation and visualization software . Intended for new and experienced users alike, this course will illustrate the best practices for efficient workflow when integrating AGI32 into your design process; including the fundamental concepts of electric and daylighting calculations through a variety of lighting design applications, and exciting ways to present your results, including still images, dynamic VRML output and sophisticated page layouts. Pre-requisites: Bring your own laptop computer [Windows 2000 or XP preferred]. AGI32 education version software will be provided prior to the course. Attendee should be familiar with basic luminaire photometry and lighting concepts.

LEVEL: Intermediate COST: $450.00/$500.00 Keynote Luncheon Included Monday & Tuesday, 12:00PM-1:45PM LIGHTFAIR Institute #5 Lumen Designer: Recommended Practices for Lighting Simulation 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (6 hours each day with Keynote Luncheon Included) Lance K. Livingston President Lighting Technologies, Inc. Denver, CO Read Bio   AUDIENCE:Architects, Contractors, Distributor, Educators, Electrical Engineers, Energy Specialists, Interior Designers, Landscape Architects, Lighting Designers, Lighting Industry, Representatives, Manufacturers This two day, in-depth Institute course will teach attendees how to properly model all levels of architectural spaces to accurately predict light levels and to pro duce photometrically accurate, photo-realistic renderings. Software will be provided to give attendees a hands-on approach to using Lumen Designer 2004 software based on real lighting projects. Key topics will include integrating with CAD files, modeling advanced 3D geometry, daylighting analysis, specifying real world materials, selecting lighting products, and the creation of realistic architectural renderings. Atendees will leave with a greater understanding of how lighting software works and how to accurately model any architectural space efficiently. Pre-requisites: Bring your own laptop computer [Windows 2000 or XP preferred]. Lumin Designer education version software will be provided prior to the course. Attendee should be familiar with basic luminaire photometry and lighting concepts. Experience with lighting software and/or AutoCAD is helpful but not required.
