This seminar is a lighting design primer for owners and designers of hotels and resorts. The following subjects will be covered: how to use lighting as a design tool to provide mood and ambiance; lighting design requirements, not just in terms of quantity, but also quality, for hotel public areas, such as lobbies, restaurants, lounges, conference facilities, entertainment facilities, guest rooms and suites; introduction of various lighting techniques and instruments that are used to achieve certain affects; introduction of lighting controls to create various light level settings at different times of day; and energy and maintenance concerns. Pre-requisite: Basic understanding of architecture, interiors, and lighting design nomenclature. LEVEL: Intermediate SEMINAR #3 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM LEDs…Innovation, Application, and Product Evolution Steve Johnson Lighting Research Group Leader, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Berkeley, CA Read Bio   Nadarajah Narendran, Ph.D, FIESNA Director of Research, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Troy, NY Read Bio   AUDIENCE: Distributor, Educators, Electrical Engineers, Energy Specialists, Government & Agencies, Interior Designers, Landscape Architects, Lighting Designers, Lighting Industry, Representatives, Manufacturers. In this seminar, a dynamic power point and product demonstration presentation will inform attendees about the current state of the art of LED technology, performance capabilities and limitations, applications, and provide a view of f u t u re products. The latest improvements in device technology will be explained and current test results on product performance will be discussed. The seminar will then cover current applications that will include measurements of performance and will introduce new applications for the technology with a demonstration of a series of new product concepts under development. The seminar will close with a look at a future solid state light source, Organic LEDs, and the role this technology may have in general illumination. LEVEL: General Interest SEMINAR #4 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM Techniques in Architectural Cove Lighting Peter Ngai, FIES, CIE Vice President, Engineering, Peerless Lighting Berkeley, CA Read Bio   AUDIENCE: Architects, Contractors, Distributor, Educators, Electrical Engineers, Energy Specialists, Facility Managers, Interior Designers, Lighting Designers, Lighting Industry, Representatives, Manufacturers. Good cove lighting is not done by accident. It is achieved by understanding the architecture of the space, its design objectives, and the cove luminaire performance. Attendees will learn to design good cove lighting from the presenter, whose cove luminaire designs have been installed in over a thousand projects. Learn cove lighting design concepts, from ceiling luminance spread and gradient to backwall luminance; the effect of cove geometry and reflectance; to understand cove luminaires performance from lamp selections and size requirements, to proper optical design, to nearfield photometric application, to socket shadow reduction, to proper installation; and to compare and evaluate cove lighting by hands-on demonstrations of various cove luminaire samples in a ceiling cove mock-up. LEVEL: General Interest SEMINAR #5 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM Preserving the Night…A History of Light Pollution, Its Causes, Effects, and Solutions David Crawford, FIESNA, CIE, IDA Execuitve Director, International Dark-Sky Association Tucson, AZ Read Bio   Scott Davis, IESNA, CIE, IDA Technical Manager, International Dark-Sky Association Tucson, AZ Read Bio   AUDIENCE: Architects, Educators, Electrical Engineers, Energy Specialists, Government & Agencies, Landscape Architects, Lighting Designers, Lighting Industry, Manufacturers. This seminar will discuss what constitutes good outdoor lighting, define light pollution, and give an overview of the trends in lighting codes and ordinances, including the IDA Model Lighting Ordinance. Good outdoor lighting helps preserve dark skies while improving nighttime visibility. It creates a more pleasant and safer nighttime environment and can save energy and money. Research has shown lighting affects more than just vision. There are numerous photobiological aspects to lighting, with both positive and negative impacts on humans and on the ecosystem. The International Dark-Sky Association is bringing about awareness of light pollution and is the driving force behind the Dark-Sky Movement. Much progress has been made with the help of allies such as the IESNA and the CIE. Pre-requisite: Attendee should have a basic understanding of light pollution. LEVEL: General Interest SEMINAR #6 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM Bon Appetit…Techniques for Successful Restaurant Lighting Design David Singer Prinicpal in Lighting, Arc Light Design New York, NY Read Bio   AUDIENCE: Architects, Distributor, Educators, Energy Specialists, Interior Designers, Landscape Architects, Lighting Designers, Lighting Industry, Representatives. The lighting design of restaurants has become as important as the interior finish of the restaurant. This seminar will provide one designer's perspective as to why this facet of lighting design has become so prominent through the visual presentation, highlighting the collaborative design of award winning signature restaurants by the interior firm of Tonychi and Associates and the presenter. This presentation will discuss the relationship and approach to design, as well as the challenges faced in maintaining these signature design efforts. LEVEL: Intermediate SEMINAR #7 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM Health Care Providers See the Light and Want the Light Jill Klores, IESNA, NCQLP, LC Lighting Designer 2clighting Dallas, TX Read Bio   AUDIENCE: Architects, Contractors, Distributor, Educators, Electrical Engineers, Energy Specialists, ESCO, Facility Managers, Government & Agencies, Interior Designers, Lighting Designers, Lighting Industry, Representatives, Manufacturers. Health care directors and facility managers often place lighting control systems at the top of the list of requirements for lighting. They want manageable, and sometimes automated, lighting systems. Other requirements are keeping the patient comfortable, allowing the medical staff to do their job well and efficiently, and keeping costs down. This seminar will review the role of lighting and lighting controls from the patient's perspective, the health care provider's requirements and requests, and the hospital owner/operator's cost-efficiency goals. A brief overview of related studies to date, a brief summary of health care providers' direct requests, and projects that explore the ways in which lighting technologies and strategies attempt to satisfy the needs of as many stakeholders as possible will be reviewed. Studies will include recovery areas of adult and child patient rooms and neo-natal care suites. Participants will receive a list of published reports and articles, and the designs presented. Pre-requisite: Attendees should be familiar with basic lighting and controls terminology and equipment. LEVEL: Intermediate back to top ^ | next day >
