Join Us October 23rd for Decoding the Code with Javid Butler!
The 2018 IECC has many changes in lighting power densities, controls including daylighting, and additional energy saving options.
Understanding the code becomes easier when the ideas are presented in plain language. Standards language is required in codes but sometimes it makes the ideas seem more complex than necessary.
Join us for a discussion of the following topics:
New lighting power densities
Controls requirements
Compliance options
Code compliance for advanced buildings
Curious about the new Chicago Architecture Center? Join us for a project tour of the new home of the CAC, formerly the CAF (Chicago Architecture Foundation). On October 24th we have a private guided tour of the newly-built 20,000 square foot space.
This spectacular new facility pays tribute to Chicago’s visionary architects, and the continuing importance of architecture and design in Chicago and around the world. It features innovative exhibits exploring the work of the architects who shaped our city, including the newly enhanced Chicago Model Experience exhibit in the central gallery. The model, featuring over 4,000 buildings, is brought to life through a film and light show detailing Chicago’s early growth and rebirth after the Great Chicago Fire. The gallery highlights the city’s most notable architects, its diverse neighborhoods, its unique residential architecture and exciting current projects.
A guided tour will be led by the project lighting designers, Casey Diers and Avi Mor of Lightswitch.
Emerging Professionals are invited to stay afterwards for a deep-dive conversation and the opportunity to pose questions to the featured speakers.
Complimentary hors d’oeuvres & beverages will be provided.
Find out more about the new CAC here.

LED Lighting Applications in Controlled Environments
Arrays of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are increasingly being used in controlled environments to deliver photoperiodic, supplemental, and sole-source lighting to specialty crops. LEDs emitting different bands of radiation can be combined to create light spectra that regulate specific plant responses such as extension growth, leaf coloration, and flowering. Dr. Runkle will provide an overview of the major LED lighting applications in horticulture, with an emphasis on how light quality and quantity influence plant growth and development of leafy greens and floriculture transplants.
About the speaker:
Erik Runkle, Ph.D, is a Professor and Extension Specialist in the Department of Horticulture at Michigan State University. Erik obtained a B.S. in Ornamental Horticulture from the University of Illinois and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Horticulture at Michigan State University.
Since he joined the faculty in 2001, he and his graduate research team have performed numerous practical experiments in controlled environments to determine the effects of light, temperature, and other environmental factors on plant growth and development. Experiments have been performed on a wide range of herbaceous specialty crops including leafy greens and ornamentals.
Erik recently developed the Controlled-Environment Lighting Laboratory to better understand how the light spectrum can be manipulated to produce crops with desired attributes. To date, he has co-edited 6 books and authored 14 book chapters, nearly 100 papers in scientific journals, and over 250 articles in trade magazines.

Color rendition is commonly considered within three conceptual frameworks; color fidelity (the rendition of objects such that they appear as they would under a familiar reference illuminant), color preference (the rendition of objects such that they appear pleasant, vivid, or flattering), and color discrimination (the ability to distinguish colors of slightly different hue when viewed simultaneously). Color discrimination has been studied less frequently than color fidelity or color preference, though it is no less important. This presentation will summarize the previous literature on color discrimination and discuss recent work in this area. A recently published study by the current speaker will be discussed, which dispels the conventional wisdom that gamut area is a predictive color discrimination metric. This presentation will detail a new measure of color discrimination, which shows strong predictive ability of experimental results. Participants to this webinar are eligible for one (1) IES Continuing Education Unit (CEU).

Teachers of Lighting Workshop 2019 (TOLW)
The purpose of the workshop is to provide concentrated instruction in design, science and technology of lighting to full time and part time academic faculty who currently teach and have responsibility for lighting education. The workshop curricula assumes some basic lighting knowledge (i.e. participation in lighting workshops, university course work).
The program combines classroom and studio instruction, and participants work both individually and in teams. Instruction is provided by senior lighting faculty representing academia, design, and industry. Participants will be involved each day from 8:00 a.m. at the Hubbell Lighting Solutions Center and at the hotel for evening sessions. Private room lodging will be in a hotel where the evening sessions will be held.
