About this Course

The IES offers a series of webinars that provide supplemental education to coincide with a recently revised or new IES Standard (Recommended Practice - RP, Technical Memorandum - TM, etc.).

Description: Outdoor space has become valuable property. People are mobile and it is here, in the outdoor space, where people can stay connected with each other and the environment, enjoying a healthier and more social lifestyle… day and night. LP-2, Quality Lighting Design for People in Outdoor Environments, is brand new guidance from the IES. Pedestrians are more vulnerable than motorists, where they look and what they need in a lighted environment are considered and discussed. With design and reassurance at its core, this session will walk you through LP-2, describing pedestrian vision, lighting design considerations, and the design process for outdoor pedestrian spaces. Intuitively, we know pedestrians need to detect sidewalk hazards for physical safety. Additionally, to activate outdoor space, there must be a high priority on pedestrian emotion and reassurance so they choose to engage with the space. Seeing other people, destinations, making threat assessments, and being able to navigate with confidence are key to the lighting design process for outdoor pedestrians.

  ANSI/IES LP-2-20 is a published document. View it in the IES Webstore.
