Examine the relevance of the NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) rating. Question some of the ways acoustic luminaires are being tested and address the challenges of comparing luminaires in the absence of regulatory requirements.   Illuminating our Experience with Human Centric Lighting | 1.0 AIA/LU/HSWPresented By: Mike Steiner (Lutron)                                     Objectives: Human centric lighting is an oft-discussed design term; yet, there is confusion about what it is and how to use new (and existing) technologies to achieve it. This course helps professionals understand 1) how to define human centric lighting, 2) what benefits it can provide to people, buildings, and businesses, and 3) how to practically apply it when designing projects. It also addresses the intersection between electric light and natural daylight, and how achieving a human centric design requires an integrated approach to those two disciplines.    IECC Code Update | 1.0 AIA/CEUPresented By: Eugene C. Foley, Jr. (Wattstopper)                                            Objectives: This course covers the commercial building lighting control sections (C405.1-C405.2) of the 2018 IECC, as well as the applicable sections for Additional Efficiency (C406), Functional Testing (C408) and Lighting Alterations IECC (C503). It introduces the importance of energy efficiency standards and presents the IECC scope for both new construction and building alterations. Using application emphasis, it steps through the major interior lighting control provisions including automatic lighting shut off, partial automatic on, light-reduction, daylight-responsive and controls required for special application lighting. It highlights the control provisions for exterior lighting including exterior decorative and setback lighting. Each provision is presented with the core requirements, applicability to specific building space types and requirement key exceptions.    State of the Art | 1.0 AIA/LUPresented By: Scott Rosenfeld (Smithsonian Institution)                                 Objectives: Demonstrate the value of the designer who has a deep understanding of the content and a mastery of each quality of light: intensity, distribution, movement, spectrum, and angle of incidence. The presentation is richly illustrated with examples of Smithsonian exhibitions showing how artwork is illuminated so they may be better seen, understood, and experienced. Special attention will be given to advances in LEDs, advanced lighting controls and the utility and limits of lighting metrics like CRI, TM30, and illuminance. Scott has worked at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and The Renwick Gallery in Washington D.C. since 1997. He is chair of the Illuminating Engineering Societies (IES) Museum and Art Gallery Committee where he leads an international committee to write standards including RP:30-2020, The American National Standard for lighting museums. Developing an Effective Controls Sequence of Operation (AB2202) | 1.0 AIA/LUPresented By: Mike Clemens (Acuity Brands)                                           Objectives: Lighting controls can have a significant impact on energy savings and the owner's bottom-line in the modern building environment. This course will provide insight into how codes, design trends and system integration influence the design and implementation of effective lighting controls strategies based upon a desired sequence of operation.     A special thank you to all of our sponsors for their support of this event!
