They provide flexible control over the lighting in a space and support energy savings by reducing the amount of power or amount of time the lighting system is in use. They can eliminate 60% or more of the wasted lighting energy in buildings while enhancing occupant comfort and productivity. Lighting controls can drastically reduce that appetite. It consumes 38% of a building’s total electricity use-more than space heating, cooling, ventilation, equipment, and computers combined. of Energy, lighting is, by far, the largest user of electricity in commercial buildings. The building industry is recognizing that lighting controls play a crucial role in energy conservation. More than have of this consumption was from the Department of Defense facilities. How Good is Good Enough? Understanding LED Fixture Performance (AIA, IDCEC)ĭescription: In FY 2007, Federal buildings accounted for 2.2% of all building energy consumption and 0.9% of total U.S. This new methodology will give the architectural community the ability to optimize the design of their shading system based on performance (glare, daylight, and view) and aesthetics. With the research, metrics, and data, this presentation will drive architects and designers to select fabric as a key component of the building performance system, as opposed to a furnishing. The key to maximizing energy savings and occupant comfort is finding the right balance between each project’s parameters and priorities. Research is establishing that fabric properties, particularly openness factor, visible transmittance, and solar reflectance, play a huge role in glare reduction, daylight autonomy, and view preservation. Today, fabrics are typically selected based on aesthetics and a designer’s past experience, which results in compromised energy savings and occupant comfort.

Design for Dynamic Light: How to create successful dynamic lighting systems (AIA)ĭescription: This course is targeted towards specifiers and members of the design community to help better educate them on the effects that shade fabrics have on building performance. Lastly, this course covers other design considerations when to improve daylighting performance, while still balancing occupant comfort and building aesthetics.

A case study compares simulation results of different daylighting systems of a real-life project and how the architect made a final decision to install automated roller shades. An effective daylighting system is dynamic and automatically responds to changing conditions at the window. This course introduces different metrics of measuring the daylight, glare, and view within a space and how these metrics impact today’s green building codes and standards. We must find the right balance between daylighting a space while still keeping people comfortable and productive. As the most available and variable light source, it must be properly managed to improve the way buildings and people perform. Codes and Controls 2.0 (AIA, USGBC)ĭescription: Daylight is a powerful tool – having immense benefits to the built and living environment.

Finally this will go over how lighting controls help meet commercial building energy code requirements in ASHRAE 90.1-2010, IECC 2012, and Title 24 2013.
