About this Course
The IES offers Educational Webinars throughout the year, purposefully spanning a broad range of topics and speaker expertise. This was a live webinar, now available as an archived webinar and CEU course.
Description: Shaun Fillion provides an under-the-hood look at radiosity calculations and raytrace renderings. We take look at the methodology used by photometric calculation software to represent the performance of lighting in the built environment, tracking it from the roots of the Lumen Method and Inverse Square Law. Visual representations of illuminance versus luminance are also covered. The seminar also diagnoses and tweaks example models to make the lighting calculations more accurate.
By the end of this course learners will be able to...
1. Interpret elements of calculations including units of light, anatomy of calculations, and IES files.
2. Explore the lumen method and point method compared to photometric calculations.
3. Identify the impact of different variables in lighting and how they impact calculations (daylighting, color temperature, etc.)
4. Describe the limitations of IES files in calculations.
