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: RP-43, Lighting for People in Outdoor Environments, is also new guidance from the IES, and complementary to the design process of LP-2. In this session, physical characteristics of outdoor space will be discussed alongside the importance of pedestrian reassurance. Our RP-43 discussion will walk attendees through thoughtful examples and the ground-breaking illuminance recommendations of pedestrian applications. Spoiler alert, you may achieve better results using less light. Highlighted within the RP-43 illuminance tables are a newly organized structure based on the design process itself. Additionally, ranges of acceptable illumination are offered based on responsible design choices such as glare and spectrum, thus giving the designer increased flexibility to achieve their goals.
BSR/IES RP-43-XX was pending publishing as of this webinar, March 18th, 2021.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course learners will be able to...
1. Understand how ANSI/IES LP-2 and BSR/IES RP-43 work together to assist the exterior lighting design process.
2. Recognize the elements of exterior lighting design that must be considered before applying illuminance recommendations.
3. Learn how exterior lighting design can make the nighttime environment more understood, thereby supporting pedestrian reassurance and engagement without wasting light.
