2022 IES-PNNL WEBINAR SERIES: Taming Complexity
Taming Data Complexity
June 2, 2022 | 12:00 PM ET
The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), in collaboration with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), is pleased to offer a special five-part free webinar series, “Taming Complexity.” Presented by PNNL experts and partners, this series will explore ongoing efforts to better understand and reduce the ever-growing complexity of advanced lighting systems.
Between environmental sensors, connected building platforms, wearables, and mobile devices, data capturing devices in buildings are increasingly prominent. What can all these data teach us about building environments and the experiences of the people who occupy them? In this webinar, presenters will discuss how to collect and utilize data from a variety of devices to better understand system performance, occupant behavior and environmental satisfaction. This information can be used to improve operational efficiency and inform future design solutions. In the context of broader indoor environmental quality, presenters will share methods and findings from several research projects as well as practical considerations surrounding data collection, quality, and visualization.
THIS IES-PNNL WEBINAR SERIES IS FREE FOR ALL IES MEMBERS
Webinar participants are eligible for one (1) IES Continuing Education Unit (CEU).
PRESENTERS
Jessica Collier, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Jessica Collier is a senior associate lighting research engineer at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Prior to joining in 2019, Jessica worked as a lighting designer while completing her degrees. Her current research is focused on evaluating the application of advanced lighting systems through simulation and field projects. Jessica has a BArch from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a MFA in Lighting Design from Parsons School of Design, The New School.
Belal Abboushi, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Belal Abboushi is a senior associate lighting research engineer at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. His research examines discomfort glare, lighting uniformity, and daylight integration. Belal is currently the principal investigator for a study that explores the use of wearable devices to assess effects of indoor environmental quality (including lighting) on occupants’ well-being.
Dorukalp Durmus, Pennsylvania State University
Dorukalp “Alp” Durmus is an assistant professor in the Department of Architectural Engineering at Penn State University and head of the department’s Lighting Laboratory. His research and education interests focus on illumination systems, solid-state lighting, and the interaction between humans and the built environment.
