The IES is proud to announce that we are hosting an advanced education seminar (IES SEM-12-12) on the topic of the lighting design process.
The learning outcomes include:
- Identifying the goals of a quality lighting design
- Describing the process of lighting design
- Analyzing the tools used to organize a lighting design
- Identifying how a lighting design interfaces with a building team
Note that this seminar:
- IS intended for those who have already completed an introduction to lighting class (such as the IES Fundamentals of Lighting course), or who have 3+ years of lighting design experience
- WILL focus on interior lighting design (rather than street, exterior, or other lighting designs, although many of the concepts learned can be applied to these applications)
- Is NOT intended to teach people how to use lighting software, but will include discussion on interpreting software results
- Is NOT intended to provide explanation or instruction on recent Code/Standard updates, but will include discussion that may touch upon some of these updates
Lunch and light snacks will be provided with this course. If you have any dietary restrictions, please send us a message ahead of time by clicking Contact Us via the Eventbrite posting, or email us at info@iesedmonton.org.
