Light + Design: A Guide to Designing Quality Lighting for People and Buildings

By Naomi Miller, FIES, FIALD, LC

The purpose of Light + Design is to introduce lighting professionals to the principles of quality lighting design. These principles, related to visual performance, energy and economics, and aesthetics, can aid designers in providing high-quality lighting for a wide range of interior and exterior lighting projects.

The text is divided into four parts:

1. Light + Human Needs describes the principles and technical background involved in designing lighting that satisfies vision and visual comfort needs,

2. Light + Economics & Environment deals with economic and environmental factors related to quality design,

3. Light + Architecture addresses lighting the built environment, and

4. Light + Application presents an updated and excerpted portion of the IESNA Design Guide, introduced in the IESNA Lighting Handbook, 9th Ed.

Supplementing the Design Guide are questions that provide a checklist of critical issues to lighting projects and an applications guide. Numerous sketches and photographs, glossary, and end notes that reference other technical papers and IES publications are included.

2009 - 192 Pages 8 1/2 x 11 Hardcover ISBN: 978-0-87995-231-0 DG-18-08

You have the option of purchasing the Luncheon only or Luncheon plus a copy of the publication. IES Portland Oregon section will order (10) copies in advance and more if they are needed.

Luncheon Options

Luncheon Only $25.00 Luncheon & L+D Guide $100.00

Title: As of 2020 new buildings in Europe will be required to consume 'nearly zero' energy and the energy will 'to a very large extent' come from renewable sources. This is about 10 years ahead of the target for the North America 2030 Challenge. Dr. Fontoynont will discuss the implications of the directive, especially with regard to lighting design and technology. He will discuss some of his recent high profile lighting design projects, such as the Mona Lisa, the Eiffel Tower, the Chinese Expo 2010, European Museums and Commercial Centers. He will present his recent involvement in an international programme to rate performance of LED products.

About Dr Marc Fontoynont: Dr Marc Fontoynont is Professor and Director of the Building Science Laboratory of France’s National School of Public Works in Lyons. He is also and Vice-President of the Commission Internationale de L’Éclairage. Dr Marc Fontoynont is active in both lighting research and design, having played a leading role in projects such as the Mona Lisa, the Eiffel Tower, the Tsaritsino Museum (Moscow) and Shanghai Expo 2010.

Light Pollution

“Any adverse effect of artificial light including sky glow, glare, light trespass, light clutter, decreased visibility at night, and energy waste.” (IDA)

Published studies are revealing that the light pollution generated by our 24/7 lifestyle is beginning to wreak havoc on human health and safety, plant and wildlife behavior and mortality, our energy resources, and our heritage of dark sky observation.

This luncheon symposium is designed to initiate a discourse on light pollution ‐‐ its menace to a sustainable Portland Metropolitan Area ‐‐ and the measures available to reduce its adverse effects. Three speakers from the wildlife, astronomical, and lighting community who are active participants in the campaign to promote more responsible outdoor lighting will “efficiently enlighten” the audience on this important issue. We anticipate that this will be the first in a series of symposiam to bring this issue into the public forum.

Presentation Summary:As most professionals in the industry are aware, Solid State Lighting has become the next generational revolution in lighting technology. However, as with any new technology, there are many embellished claims of performance. How does a designer know how to separate real claims from the hype? This presentation will provide an overview of LED technology with a focus on how to differentiate between products. Specifically, what type of information that a lighting professional should require of any & all manufacturers proposing an LED solution. Furthermore, this presentation will cover some best case applications as well as review the tools available for specifiers to make an informed decision on this technology.

About the presenter:Andrew Lindstrom has over 14 years in the lighting industry. He is lighting certified, and has held a wide range of product management and sales positions with General Electric and Cooper Lighting. He has been a member of the IESNA for over a decade both as Vice President of the Des Moines, IA chapter and is currently serving on the Sports lighting & Roadway committees. Currently, he is with Philips Lighting as the North American Development Manager for SSL lamps.

Revit
With the increasing demand for integrated design, many projects are utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM) to help assist the integrated design process. BIM offers some advantages over traditional CAD, but also presents a major shift in the way we utilize CAD. Join Sean Avery and the Portland IES chapter for one or two parts of this seminar on the basics of Revit for lighting professionals.

Presentation Power Point: Revit PDF

Part I:Included in the first part of the seminar will be the basics of families and family creation, linked file setup. This will end at 1:30 PM

Presentation Part I: Revit Lighting Fixture Families PDF

Part II:The second part will focus on creating intelligent lighting fixture schedules, automatic lighting calculations, and general lighting design tasks. The seminar will focus primarily on Revit MEP, but many of the concepts will work for Revit Architecture as well. Following the each seminar will be an open discussion on typical dilemmas and lessons learned in previous Revit projects. This part wil conclude by 2:30.

Presentation Part II: Revit Lighting Fixture Schedules PDF
