LD+A Magazine receives Gold EXCEL Awards

LD+A, the Illuminating Engineering Society’s award-winning publication for professionals involved in the art, science, study, manufacture, teaching and implementation of lighting, was presented with an Gold EXCEL Award for both its 50th Anniversary issue and its 2022 Media Kit.
The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) recently introduced four new standards documents addressing current challenges that face the lighting industry – navigating near-field photometry, standardizing iterations of lighting controls intent, the importance of UV lighting, and promoting a balanced outdoor environment. The four new standards are available in the IES webstore.
It’s that time of year again when we begin the IES Board of Directors (Board) nominations process to identify the future leaders of our Society. This is one of the most important annual processes that any organization goes through. This is a very exciting time, and we need your continued involvement to make the nomination process successful. We want our Board to be representative of the finest leaders in the industry, and we need your input to make that happen!
The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) recently introduced the standard, ANSI/IES RP-44-21 Recommended Practice: Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation. This new standard addresses the use of UVGI for disinfection, the potential dangers for humans, potential effects on materials and plants, UVGI technologies, and safety measures and precautions.
Just days ahead of its 50th anniversary, LD+A magazine, the Illuminating Engineering Society’s award-winning publication for professionals involved in the art, science, study, manufacture, teaching and implementation of lighting, was presented with a Gold EXCEL Award for its media kit, and Silver EXCEL Awards for both magazine Design Excellence and General Excellence.
The IES Board of Directors is excited to announce that it has approved the Executive Search Committee's proposal to nominate Dan Salinas as Interim Executive Director. He will work closely with Tim Licitra whose last day with the Society will be on June 18th. A review of our needs and requirements preceded a rigorous selection process which led to the Committee's selection.
The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) and the Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI) are pleased to announce a memorandum of understanding (MOU) enabling future collaboration on consensus-based guidelines and publications. Both parties seek to advance lighting knowledge and improve the quality of lighting in health care facilities through this MOU.
