PANEL DISCUSSION: Frontiers of Sustainable Lighting
Shaun Fillion, RAB Lighting | Chelsea Kreielsheimer, Atelier Ten | Alessa Aguayo, Coronet LED | David Bergman, David Bergman Eco
Virtual Friday, March 15, 2024 | 8:30 am - 10:00 am EST | Credits 1.5 LU/HSW
As efficacy reaches the theoretical limit, carbon footprint reduction from energy savings is also topping out. We are now looking at dematerialization and design for disassembly as trends, as well as embracing more sustainable materials in the luminaires. Control systems also help to whittle away at the kWh. Declare and the efforts of LBC/LPC are also providing details on the origin of our luminaire to help designers and owners understand the impacts of the luminaires on a project. What’s next?

Creative and Practical Design Strategies for Delivering Visual and Non-visual Benefits of Lighting
PANEL DISCUSSION
Mariana Figueiro, Light and Health Research Center, Mount Sinai School of Medicine | Daniel Frering, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai | Mark Rea, and Jennifer Brons, Light and Health Research Center, Mount Sinai School of Medicine
In-person, Tuesday, March 19, 2024 | 8:30 am - 10:00 am EST | Credits 1.5 LU/HSW
Lighting isn’t just for vision anymore. The lighting design process to address the non-visual effects of light can seem like a complex and complicated struggle, navigating the various metrics and balancing these with traditional lighting design objectives and standards. This presentation will cut though the complexities and focus on two non-visual design objectives, circadian-effective lighting, and alertness. Based on results from laboratory and field research, the presenters will discuss various strategies they have used that might assist specifiers in generating attractive, cost-effective, energy-efficient lighting designs that support visual as well as non-visual design objectives.

PANEL DISCUSSION: Recommendations vs Reality
3 million eye-level spectral measurements taken in factory and office spaces have a thing or two to teach us about lighting for human health
Wendy Luedtke, ETC | Andrea Wilkerson, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory | Jessica Collier Kelly, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
In-person Tuesday, March 19, 2024 | 10:30 am - 12:00 pm EST | Credits 1.5 LU/HSW
PNNL collaborated with ETC Inc. to capture light exposure variation at factory, manufacturing, and office employee workstations at ETC’s Headquarters in Middleton, WI. Employee surveys requested data on daylight exposure, motivation, alertness, and lighting satisfaction. This session examines the lighting measurements and survey data to highlight the complexity of lighting for healthy workplaces. The magnitude and duration of light exposure in relation to occupant outcomes will be discussed in the context of current light and health research and recommendations such as WELL. This session is for anyone interested in learning more about the variability of the human experience in buildings.

Facade Lighting
Reducing Its Contribution to Skyglow
Craig Bernecker, The New School, Parsons School of Design | Ajin Cho, Domingo Gonzalez Associates
In-person, Tuesday, March 19, 2024 | 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm EST | Credits 1 LU/Elective
As there is no method to quantify the adverse effects of facade lighting, lighting designers should assess direct upward light and reflected light during the design process to reduce facade lighting’s contribution to skyglow. This paper proposes a new methodology that utilizes the existing widespread photometric calculation tool in the lighting design industry.
A fundamental understanding of lighting technologies and lighting metrics is recommend for this presentation.

Architectural Case Study. Bold Exterior Choices at the Gershwin Theatre
Christien Methot, Design One Lighting Design
In-person, Tuesday, March 19, 2024 | 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm EST | Credits 1 LU/Elective
In this presentation, designer Christien Methot takes us on a concept-to-completion case study of an iconic recent project: The bold architectural lighting on the new facade of the Gershwin Theater.

Decarbonization in Lighting – the Hotspots
Leela Shanker, WAP Sustainability | William Paddock, WAP Sustainability | James Salazar, WAP Sustainability
In-person, Tuesday, March 19, 2024 | 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm EST | Credits 1 LU/HSW
In New York City, 2024 marks the introduction of financial penalties under Local Law 97 for exceeding building C02 emission limits; providing legislative and commercial imperatives for carbon footprint measurement. How does lighting contribute to achieving decarbonization goals of governments and corporate entities under legislation and “Net Zero” challenges set by construction partners in other disciplines, such as Architecture 2030 and MEP2040? This session presents the first results of the Life Cycle Assessment Incubator of the GreenLight Alliance and IALD, an industry-led pilot to develop a consistent framework for measuring embodied and operational carbon of five key architectural luminaires.
Attendees should have an understanding of basic lighting principles and industry stakeholders assumed. Awareness of lighting industry structure and products will support understanding of the commercial discussion.

PANEL DISCUSSION: POE Past–Present–Future
Mitchell Bloomberg, International Lights | Farukh Aslam, Sinclair Holdings | Michael Baudo, Zumtobel | Jay Wratten, WSP
In-person, Wednesday, March 20, 2024 | 8:30 am - 10:00 am EST | Credits 1.5 LU/Elective
POE Past – Present – Future. Has anything changed? Can it be a cost-effective solution, and does it deliver real cost savings? Who will be the next generation of early adopters—commercial office, retail, healthcare, or industrial? How can the industry help to communicate the value of this solution.

A Path Through the Wilderness of Lighting Control Specification
Shoshanna Segal, Hartranft Lighting Design
In-person, Wednesday, March 20, 2024 | 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST | Credits 1 LU/Elective
With so many different types of systems and requirements, how do you get what you really want from lighting controls? Designers and architects need to consider the visual environment they are creating as well as the operational characteristics of the systems being installed. Design teams now often find themselves faced with questions of how to create a level of interoperability and digital integration with adjacent building systems that was not so commonplace in the recent past. Fortunately, the tools exist to articulate both the designer’s intent and the specific steps required to achieve that intent. By examining the development process behind the Control Intent Narrative and the Sequence of Operations, this seminar will provide guidance for assembling these documents and specific examples of language that is both clear and contractually enforceable.
A basic understanding of the phased design and construction process and how lighting controls relates would be helpful for this presentation.

The Perfect Fit!
NY Times case study on sustainability
Attila Uysal, Lumenarch | Graham Whittaker, Zumtobel
In-person, Wednesday, March 20, 2024 | 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm EST | Credits 1 LU/Elective
When Renzo Piano’s glass-clad The New York Times Building opened, it featured cutting edge integrated building technologies. Shadow-free illumination in the main newsroom came from custom T5 fluorescent fixtures with superb glare control. The NY Times tested a number of LED upgrades. But in the end, the lighting designers and luminaire manufacture developed a custom refurbishment kit with a proven optical design even superior to the original fixture—an affordable refurbishment offering a minimum 50% energy savings, plastic free packaging, and super-fast installation. A truly sustainable luminaire begins with a timeless design and ends with the reusability of all its parts. Over 80% to 90% of the NY times fixtures were reused. Truly sustainable buildings are those that people will enjoy using for decades to come.
