Do you own a bowling alley? Bill will integrate strikes with lights! Hit the jackpot at a casino? Bill can make sure everyone in the building knows. Bill's definition of an integrator is “the glue that puts the pieces together.” This kind of integrator isn't needed on every project, but Bill and Candela Controls have found a niche pulling together the lighting designer, the electrical engineer, and the manufacturer on complex projects. Bill Ellis is an industry expert in lighting systems integration and is very proud of Candela Controls Inc.'s enduring history.

Renovations aren't just for kitchens! We've talked a lot about system integrations in new projects, but don't discount retrofits. Daniel tells us that much of the work that comes his way lately is from existing projects. As he says, if you want to test your mettle, take on a renovation project. But don't forget, good relationships and communications with the rest of the team and the owner are still vital!Daniel Salinas has been in the electrical industry since 1978, beginning as a residential lighting consultant for a lighting showroom, quickly progressing to showroom manager and eventually to commercial lighting designer and consultant for Design/Build electrical contracting firms, electrical engineers, interior designers and architects. In 1987 he joined Nelson Electric as Senior Designer/Project Manager for lighting and lighting control systems. The breadth of his design and project management experience spans both commercial and residential projects, specializing in complicated installations with new techniques of constructability and ease of maintenance. Commercial lighting control design has been his passion where working with integrated technology is a requirement. He has received two Illuminating Engineering Society, International Awards of Merit for his work on special project applications. In 2015 Dan left Nelson Electric to found Salinas Lighting Consult with the idea of expanding the concept of holistic design of lighting systems. 

Emergency Lighting Controls primary purpose is to provide sufficient illumination during emergencies for building evacuation and maneuvering. So just transfer the circuitry from utility power to emergency power. But wait, it's not that simple. As Steve reveals in this episode, there are many considerations, like what kind of emergency is it? Power failure? Fire? Security? Steve points out the irony of the “bug-eye” security light at an emergency exit that blinds anyone who is approaching that exit. As more designers/engineers use general luminaires with controls for their emergency lighting, it further expands how these systems are wired and interact with each other. It might be complicated, but it's not rocket science. Get educated and have that detailed conversation at the beginning of the project to avoid last-minute changes.

Most homes in America are woefully underlit. Codes are no help, because they have minimal requirements (would you believe the International Residential Code only requires ONE light in a kitchen?). Despite energy mandates requiring high efficiency LED's, there is little guidance on what kind of LED's to use and more importantly where to place them. The missing element in this discussion is how much light we need, as the population ages. A 60 year old needs 3 times the illumination as a 20 year old to see! Drawing on ten years of original research and volunteer work with both the Illuminating Engineering Society and the National Kitchen & Bath Association, architect Doug Walter will discuss optimal lighting strategies and layouts for each room in the home using the latest technologies, illustrating them with actual case studies. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1. Learn how to maximize lighting and daylighting in homes to support Circadian rhythms and provide adequate illumination for all age groups. 2. Attendees will understand why each end user might have different needs, and how to provide them the control and choice they require from low tech to high tech. 3. Look at residential lighting standards and industry recommendations critically, and set your own evidence-based metrics. 4. Know where to look for further learning on the topic of lighting, especially kitchens and baths, the two most critical lighting environments in the home.

The color rendering needs in a space vary, so how could one number accurately depict which light source renders colors “best?” While Color Rendering Index (CRI) provides one metric, TM-30 provides a robust suite of metrics that convey much more information than any previous attempt at characterizing color rendering. Jason Livingston, co-chair of the IES Color Committee, explains what TM-30 is (and isn't) to Liz and Raelle, and explores how we can use TM-30 when evaluating lighting needs. Show notes Jason is the principal of Studio T+L. His lighting work has garnered awards from the Illuminating Engineering Society and project profiles in Lighting Design + Application, Lighting & Sound America, Design Bureau, and Architectural SSL. He is a co-author of the IES's Lighting Science 5 – Color and Design Guide 1 – Color and Illumination. He is also the author of a leading lighting design textbook, Design with Light: The Art Science, and Practice of Architectural Lighting Design.   Download ANSI/IES TM-30 IES Method for Evaluating Light Source Color Rendition for Free!   Check out this DOE webinar on understanding and applying TM-30.   Lighting Agora has great lighting speakers, instructors, and consultants.   Seen you in Lake Tahoe for the ALA Conference!    Raelle Bell – Host Liz Ware – Host Association Briefings - Producer

Because for most of 1882, he stood in the window on the second floor of a building, about an hour north of Paris - a French Lingerie shop - where French women would try and buy the latest of French women’s underwear. Very much out of place, he stood there amidst the delicate lace and ladies of the time, because it was the best place to view what captivated him from that vantage point.The Cathedral of Rouen. A building stood across the road from the place where Claude Monet tried to understand light. With as many as ten canvases around him, he would move from image to image looking out of the second-floor window as light fell across the surfaces of the  Rouen cathedral. From morning until dusk he worked until packing up his canvases and heading back to his home in Giverny in at the end of 1883.In all, Monet painted more than 30 canvases. Each holding light in a suspended animation. Monet had painted multiple views of the same subject before. But the paintings of Rouen Cathedral were a master stoke at seeing how light changed our perception of our surroundings.In 1894 Claude Monet finished his series of paintings. During the previous year he often fell into despair, telling his wife “‘Things don’t advance very steadily, primarily because each day I discover something I hadn’t seen the day before… In the end, I am trying to do the impossible.”Years later, the famous French Architect Le Corbusier focused on a similar fascination with light and framed the issue of understanding it this way: “Space and Light and order are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep.”About David Kepron:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites:  https://www.davidkepron.com    (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645  (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comTwitter: DavidKepronPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron is a multifaceted creative professional with a deep curiosity to understand ‘why’, ‘what’s now’ and ‘what’s next’.

Each traveler and trip is different and requires a personalized approach taking your sleep pattern, chronotype, flight plan, and a range of personal preferences into account. — Steven W. Lockley, Ph.D. With nearly 25 years of research experience in circadian rhythm and sleep, Dr. Lockley is a specialist in ways to reset the circadian clock, particularly the role of light and melatonin. He has studied the effects of light on the circadian pacemaker extensively including the role of light wavelength, timing, duration and pattern. This work has led to development of ‘smart’ lighting applications designed to improve alertness, safety and productivity. He was also the first to show that daily melatonin administration could reset the biological clocks of totally blind people and treat non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder (N24HSWD), a serious circadian rhythm disorder. These studies inspired the clinical trials that led to the approval of tasimelteon, a melatonin agonist, as the first FDA- and EMA-approved drug to treat N24HSWD in the blind. Dr Lockley has also studied the impact of circadian disruption, long work hours, sleepiness and sleep disorders on performance and health in occupational groups, including doctors, police and firefighters, and has led several workplace interventions that have reduced workplace errors and injury. He also advises NASA on how to alleviate jetlag for astronauts traveling the globe and how to reduce the problems associated with shiftwork at NASA Mission Control. Dr. Lockley has published more than 150 original reports, reviews, chapters and editorials on circadian rhythms and sleep and his research is funded by NASA and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) among others. He has won a number of awards including a Wellcome Trust International Prize Research Travelling Fellowship, the Sleep Research Society Young Investigator Award, the Healthy Sleep Community Award (as part of the Harvard Work Hours Health and Safety Group) from the National Sleep Foundation, the Harvard Club of Australia Foundation Harvard-Australia Fellowship, the Taylor Technical Talent Award from the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America, and two awards from NASA: the Group Achievement Award (as part of the Chilean Miners NASA Rescue Support Team) and the Johnston Space Center Director's Innovation Team Award (as part of the ISS Flexible Lighting Team). He co-edited the first textbook on sleep and health ‘Sleep, health and society: From Aetiology to Public Health’ and recently co-authored ‘Sleep: A Very Short Introduction’ from Oxford University Press.

In April, the Illuminating Engineering Society and the International Dark Sky Association released a joint statement on the five practices to best confront light pollution. We’re here to speak with IDA’s Ruskin Hartley and the IES’ Brian Liebel about that, and the broader implications of electric light at night. Light pollution is real pollution, it’s something we create that harms people and animals, and as much as we can raise awareness among consumers we may need to call on regulators to make lighting better. We also discuss the power of solutions to breed problems, confronting biases, how to sell the more costly option, overcoming techie questions around spectral value at the order desk, and the evolutionary psychology surrounding warm light.

Mark Loeffler is a professional member of the International Association of Lighting Designers and a LEED Fellow and has practiced lighting and sustainable design consulting for more than 30 years. Based in the New Haven area, Mark enjoys working with innumerable architects, engineers, organizations, and institutions across the Northeast US on a wide range of ambitious and notable projects of every type and scale. Mark collaborates with architects, engineers, planners, and facility managers to help them better leverage their own lighting and sustainable design talents and resources to deliver inspired and vital buildings. From hourly consulting on individual project challenges to more comprehensive involvement in strategic planning, Mark assists with architectural lighting, day lighting, and sustainable design workshops, concept development, performance criteria, analytical requirements, peer review, and benchmarking readiness.   Mark Loeffler - Get To Know Mark Mark grew up in Austin, Texas in the 1960s and 1970s. He started off at the University of Texas as a novelist but became an assistant lighting designer of Austin Ballet Theater.  He then finished his degree in Humanities but focused on lighting as a career. In 1987, Mark and his wife moved to New Haven, Connecticut and finished with an MFA in Agricultural Lighting. Very quickly, Mark started integrated lighting and agricultural lighting, then got involved with energy efficiency and design. “I went to work for a woman who started her own firm that started integrated lighting and agricultural lighting and that's where I really got involved with energy efficiency and sustainable lighting design in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, well before LEED.” - Mark Loeffler      Early Sustainability Journey Mark made the change from theatrical design to agricultural pretty quickly. Mark took what he knew from theatrical design and applied it to his agricultural practice. Mark admired that people respond to lighting in different ways and the combination of natural and artificial lighting is where he found his passion. Mark uses this as a framing tool to approach a design for his projects.  Mike eventually worked for Howard J. Brown who let him explore this passion and taught him how to do better with less. “Howard Brown was a huge influence and gave me the opportunity to practice lighting design as part as early sustainable designs environmental management systems for corporations, which would become a big part in the sustainable movement.” - Mark Loeffler      Proudest Achievements Mark has had the pleasure to work on very notable buildings around the Connecticut area. He has been blessed with the opportunity to work on over 100 projects at Yale University and led the early beginnings of the sustainable movement on campus. He helped with the Brain Museum which was their first LED project and won Sustainable Project of the Year from the Illuminating Engineering Society. Mark was the founding member of the New Haven office that led the design team for the Brain Museum.    “I've had the privilege to work on a lot of notable buildings since the 2000s, especially here in New Haven. Working at Yale University, we have been able to save 29% of their energy and have them use LEED Gold. So, over the years I've been able to work on over 100 projects.” - Mark Loeffler   Book Recommendations Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth by Malcolm Wells   Tune into this podcast to listen to the rest of Mark Loeffler's journey in this podcast hosted by Charlie.

As if our lighting community needs more disruption, we are poised for a radical change in how we make, distribute and sell our products. We have experienced two digital revolutions already in communication and computation. We can communicate instantly across the globe at no charge and computers are integrated into our lives. Digital fabrication is the third digital revolution. When we can make our own lighting sources, heat sinks, optics and luminaires in our garage or locally at a store with a larger 3D printer (3D Kinkos?) then business as usual is over. Container loads from Asia, our sales and distribution network and other peripheral support processes cease when costs equalize though local 3D printing. This will happen incrementally at first then accelerate to exponential growth as we experienced with communication and computation. The revolution has already begun with choices of 3D printers available on Amazon Prime for under $200. The Lighting Research Center has expanded their LED Lighting Institute to include content on 3D printing. Nadarajah Narendran, Ph.D. is the Director of Research at the LRC and is the Professor teaching a hands-on 3D lighting class. He has been leading a team that conducts research and educational programs to accelerate the development and market transformation of lighting technologies. The seminar culminates with participants designing, building and evaluating their own lighting fixtures including custom 3D printed components. Please enjoy this conversation between Narendran and host Mark Lien on this timely issue impacting in our lighting community. Dr. Narendran leads a team that conducts research and educational programs to accelerate the development and market transformation of solid-state lighting technology. He is the Professor, School of Architecture, as well as Director of Research at the Lighting Research Center, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He is a Fellow of the Illuminating Engineering Society. Winner of Rensselaer’s William H. Wiley Distinguished Faculty Award, Taylor Technical Talent Award (Best Technical Paper), and PEW Teaching Leadership Award.

This podcast features two key members of the ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1 Lighting Subcommittee that establishes lighting power density levels for this foundational standard.  The discussion reveals and explains to our lighting community a new project that is funded by ASHRAE, IALD, BC Hydro and the IES.  Project tasks will support the work of the 90.1 standard by providing AGI32 modeling runs by application.  These models will improve the accuracy of and strengthen the effectiveness of this and the other standards affected by 90.1.  It is a concern especially because LED luminaires are now being used as the primary baseline to establish LPD’s instead of traditional sources.  This has resulted in significant energy savings but there is an end game.  The partners want to verify that the quality of lighting is not impacted in future versions of 90.1 and the other standards that reference it. Michael Myer has been with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) for 11 years. Prior to coming to PNNL Michael was a practicing lighting designer with Naomi Miller Lighting Design and before that Hayden McKay Lighting Design.
