Seminars Wednesday, March 31 - Friday April 2, 2004 at the Las Vegas Convention Center < previous day | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday SEMINAR #22 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM Lighting for Videoconferencing Today Andrew Beldecos, LC, MIES CDAI Incorporated Atlanta, GA Read Bio   C. Brooke Carter Senior Designer, Domingo Ganzalez Associates New York, NY Read Bio   Renee Cooley, IALD, IES, DFL Principal, Cooley Monato Studio New York, NY Read Bio   Lee Hedberg Director of Engineering, Engineered Lighting Products Tustin, CA Read Bio   James M. Yorgey, IESNA, IEEE, ICIA, NSCA Technical Applications Manager, Lutron Coopersburg, PA Read Bio   AUDIENCE: Architects, Contractors, Distributor, Educators, Electrical Engineers, Facility Managers, Government & Agencies, Interior Designers, Landscape Architects, Lighting Designers, Lighting Industry, Representatives, Manufacturers. Video conferencing presents unique circumstances that require special considerations for successful lighting in these facilities. This panel of experts, all members of the IESNA committee writing the Design Guideline for this application, will present an overview of their recommendations. You will learn: how human visual requirements, the architectural envelope and video equipment characteristics influence lighting; what to consider during the design process; and key issues impacting the selection and design of lighting controls to meet the needs for these spaces. LEVEL: Intermediate SEMINAR #23 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM Surfaces and Sources…To Light or Not to Light Robert Prouse, IALD FIES, DLF, LC Partner, Brandston Partnership Inc. New York, NY Read Bio   AUDIENCE: Architects, Educators, Interior Designers, Landscape Architects, Lighting Designers, Lighting Industry. Much is known about the production of light sources, luminaires, etc. Much is known about human perception. However, many designers get into trouble however when light is reflected off a surface on its way between these elements. Understanding the selection and lighting of textures, degrees of specularity, colors and other aspects of surfaces is key to successful lighting design. The Continuum of Reflectance will be introduced and project images and material samples will be shown. Attendees will learn: learn how to light (and not to light) a shiny wall; when point sources are appropriate and when lines sources are appropriate; and how to distinguish between problems and opportunities in the lighting of various materials and finishes. LEVEL: Intermediate SEMINAR #24 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM Selling Productivity: How Lighting Can Satisfy, Stimulate, and Motivate Carol Jones, LC Program Manager, Lighting Battelle / Pacific NW National Laboratory Waltham, MA Read Bio   Naomi Miller, FIESNA, IALD, CIE, IDA Principal, Naomi Miller Lighting Design Troy, NY Read Bio   AUDIENCE: Architects, Educators, Electrical Engineers, Energy Specialists, ESCO, Facility Managers, Government & Agencies, Landscape Architects, Lighting Designers, Lighting Industry, Representatives, Manufacturers. Sometimes selling productivity means not mentioning the word productivity at all! What messages will truly resonate to the decision-maker when you are trying to sell higher quality lighting? Come to this seminar to learn about lighting solutions that can measurably influence worker satisfaction, motivation and persistence on difficult tasks. Hear the research findings of the Light Right Consortium and other related research, and how to translate these findings in a way that will help to support your design. Attendees will learn how to develop a "right-sized" sales message in terms that are most understandable to your audience; how to quantify lighting-related occupant satisfaction improvements on a project-by-project basis; learn how other buildings industries have succeeded in delivering a "must-have" value proposition, and how we can create similar success in the lighting industry. LEVEL: Intermediate SEMINAR #25 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM Roadway Lighting Research Past, Present and Future Carl Andersen Manager, Arens Photometric & Visibility Lab McLean, VA Read Bio   Ronald Gibbons, Ph.D, IESNA Group Leader, Infrastructure, Center for Advanced Systems and Crash Blacksburg, VA Read Bio   Richard Stark President, ERS Engineering South Holland, IL Read Bio   AUDIENCE: Contractors, Distributor, Educators, Electrical Engineers, Energy Specialists, Government & Agencies, Landscape Architects, Lighting Designers, Lighting Industry, Representatives, Manufacturers. In this seminar, past research in roadway lighting, along with current research and research planned for the future and ultimatley the effect on roadway lighting design, will be presented. This information will provide designers, government agencies and utilities with the background necessary to understand the current standard (IESNA RP-8 2000) and be prepared for new developments relative to visibility criteria. Research projects covering the requirements of the older driver, the interaction of headlights with road lighting and the proper use of pedestrian crossing lighting will be discussed. New approaches such as off-roadway visibility, pro-beam and counter-beam luminaire distributions and full cutoff luminaires with related research will also be analyzed. LEVEL: Intermediate SEMINAR #26 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM Stimulating the Mind...The Impact of Lighting on Learning Craig Bernecker, Ph.D, FIES, LC, IALD, CIE/USA Director, The Lighting Education Institute Exton, PA Read Bio   AUDIENCE: Contractors, Distributor, Educators, Electrical Engineers, Energy Specialists, Government & Agencies, Landscape Architects, Lighting Designers, Lighting Industry, Representatives, Manufacturers. Lighting today's classroom properly is more important than ever with changes in educational techniques and lighting technology. This seminar will address cutting-edge issues involved in lighting the modern classroom and related facilities, particularly from the perspectives of sustainable design and achieving a balance between energy efficiency, sustainability, and a quality lighted environment. The seminar will use case studies to illustrate principles of the 2000 ANSI/IESNA Recommended Practice for Educational Facilities (RP-3-00), ASHRAE Standard 90.1-1999 and 2001, and the LEED program. A listing of resources related to lighting educational facilities will also be provided. Learning Objectives are: to expose participants to the IESNA Lighting Design Guide for Educational Facilities; to provide an understanding of cutting edge issues that should be considered in the design of educational faciltities; and to develop an appreciation for the balance between sustainability and quality lighting in the design of educational spaces. LEVEL: Intermediate SEMINAR #27 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM Love Your Contractor- Partnership in Design Build Robert Lanteigne, IALD, IESNA, ELDA, AFE Lighting Designer, Eklipse Concept Montreal, Quebec Canada Read Bio   AUDIENCE: Architects, Contractors, Distributor, Educators, Electrical Engineers, Energy Specialists, Facility Managers, Landscape Architects, Lighting Designers, Lighting Industry, Representatives. In this seminar, you will learn how to build a relationship with your contractor by establishing trust, communicating your design ideas accurately, organizing your working phases, and maintaining complicity within your installation team. Important topics that will be covered include how to use technology to save time, plan job sit e testing and mockup at a low cost, establish installation procedures and use lamps, accessories, and pre-focusing charts to save time and money. Other objectives discussed will include how to maintain interactive discussions with your building team, pre-testing before your client inspection and, most importantly, how to stay on budget.
