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: Networked lighting controls promise significant energy cost savings and other robust capabilities, such as the ability to collect data and participate in the Internet of Things. Developed by the Lighting Controls Association and presented by lighting educator Steve Mesh, this webinar introduces networked control, typical energy savings, capabilities, types of systems, system elements, the potential for rebates, and a product comparison resource. It then discusses specification issues such as wired versus wireless, topology, cybersecurity, protocols, measuring & monitoring, and integration with other systems. The enthusiasm for healthier buildings has aligned with advances in LED technology, controls and research exploring the human biological response to light. This alignment has led to a rise in health claims related to lighting, yet there is still much to learn regarding the relationship between light and human biology. This webinar will look back at the background of circadian metrics, and look forward to the opportunities and challenges facing the future development and implementation of circadian metrics in the built environment.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course learners will be able to...
1. Identify elements of a networked lighting control system and how those elements relate to code requirements.
2. Understand benefits and features of various control strategies.
3. Identify different control systems based on facility type and control systems structure.
4. Discover differences in devices utilized in wired and wireless topologies for various square footages.
