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: Illumination business and technology changes wrought by the introduction of LEDs for lighting will continue to evolve, even as energy efficiency fades as a driver for LED lighting adoption. The role of lighting in smart systems and services will largely depend upon the battle for the socket (or pole and ceiling) where sensors, intelligence with local edge computing, communications and access to power reside. As the lighting industry wrestles with relevance in interconnected smart buildings and smart city systems, new opportunities for illumination science and engineering are continuing to evolve in human wellbeing, communications, architecture and even displays, and the trajectories of some of these new opportunities will be reviewed.
