In this episode of the Lighting Controls Podcast produced by NAILD and the Lighting Controls Association, hosts Ron Kuszmar and C. Webster Marsh talk to Bryan Lussier, MFA, LC, CLCP, Lead Controls Specialist in Specification Sales for Apex Lighting Solutions, about factors to consider for lighting design firms interested in developing their own lighting controls teams.
Guest Post: Steve Mesh on Writing the Sequence of Operations
Whether you use traditional lighting control devices or newer systems such as networked lighting controls (NLCs), you have to communicate and document how you want those devices or systems to behave. This documentation should include a Control Intent Narrative and Sequence of Operations.
How to Design a Lighting Control System
Based on EE105: Lighting Control System Design, a new course in the Lighting Controls Association’s Education Express program, this article provides detailed information about designing an effective lighting control solution.
How to Design a Lighting Control System, Part 2
In Part 1 of this Lighting Controls System Design series, we learned about key documentation including the Content Intent Narrative (CIN), Sequence of Operations (SOO), and Owner Project Requirements (OPR). The next step in design development is to turn these requirements and conceptual design into a realized design
How to Design a Lighting Control System, Part 3
In Part 3 of this series on how to design a lighting control system, we will discuss installation and post-occupancy. You will learn about bidding, responding to questions from installers, reviewing submittals and defending your design, following-through with the installation of the equipment, functional testing, training essential staff, and ultimately ensuring the owner is satisfied.
Lighting Controls Updates Lighting Control System Design Course
The Lighting Controls Association has published a comprehensive update to its popular Education Express course EE105: Lighting Control System Design.
Selecting a Lighting Control System
As LED lighting adoption increases, organizations focused on saving energy are looking more and more to lighting controls as the next frontier for maximizing energy savings and decarbonization. Selecting Lighting Control Systems, a publication by PNNL for the DOE, sheds light on the process of designing solutions that both align with project objectives and are clearly documented. PNNL developed this publication in response to research finding that success with lighting controls can maximized by adhering to industry best practices. The result is a straightforward 20-page guide, with additional resources listed ranging from IES lighting practices ANSI/IES-LP-6 and ANSI/IES-LP-16 to the Lighting Controls Association.
Lighting Control for Existing Buildings
It’s an LED world now; traditional sources are just living in it. The next frontier of energy savings lies in bringing the lighting controls revolution to mainstream adoption in existing buildings via best practices.
Lutron’s Brendon Van Campen Talks Lighting Control Trends
Craig DiLouie, LC, CLCP recently had the pleasure of interviewing Brendon Van Campen, Senior Sales Director, Lutron Electronics, for an article about lighting control trends for an upcoming article to be published in tED Magazine, the official publication of the NAED. Here’s the transcript.
PNNL’s LED Lighting and Controls Guidance for Federal Buildings
The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has published a concise and informative guide to help designers and project managers select the most cost-effective and energy-efficient lighting and control systems, including lessons learned from evaluations conducted in federal buildings.
