This session defines the Architect’s role as project team leader without LEED Project Administrator duties, including decision making, owner/client relationship, quality assurance checks, documentation responsibilities, and much more. Best Practices and lessons learned from actual LEED building projects are included. This program is registered with GBCI for 1 CMP hour, LEED Specific BD+C, and with the AIA for 1 HSW/SD hour. Thu, 4 Oct 2012 12:13:16 EST http://www.archlighting.com?rssLink=A+New+Approach+to+Lighting+Controls%3a+Low+VoltageToday we are going to learn about a totally new approach to lighting controls that take full advantage of LEDs - a clean, green and efficient light source that is gaining traction quickly. The technology is based on using low voltage DC current to both power and control the LED fixtures. The result is a super-efficient system that saves more energy than traditional lighting controls, is more reliable and flexible, and provides a network of sensors that deliver additional value through smart building applications. This course is registered for 1 HSW/SD hour with AIA and for 1 GBCI CMP hour.Thu, 19 Apr 2012 10:55:50 EST http://www.archlighting.com?rssLink=Overexposed+-+Reducing+Outdoor+Illumination+LevelsThis article originally appeared in the March 2012 print and digital editions of ARCHTIECT magazine. This article discusses a newfound appreciation for dark skies, a model lighting ordinance, and LEDs may help maintain night vision by reducing outdoor illumination levels. This article is registered for 1 HSW/SD AIA CEH.Thu, 22 Mar 2012 11:43:27 EST http://www.archlighting.com?rssLink=How+We+Use+ColorThis course will review how the eye adapts to color and what affects certain light sources, colors and illumination levels have on the human eye. It will also look at why you should take these items into consideration in your overall design. This course will touch on color specification in order to achieve the desired affect for your project, and highlight the different controllable technologies available to help you achieve this affect. This course is registered for 1 AIA CEH.Thu, 22 Mar 2012 11:28:00 EST http://www.archlighting.com?rssLink=How+We+See+ColorThis course will describe how the human eye detects and identifies color and adapts to its surroundings and why this is important to consider with lighting design. This course will take a closer look at the complexity of the color process, while also defining and explaining key elements, such as: color consistency, stability, metamerism, color rendering, and the color rendering index. This course is registered for 1 AIA CEH.Thu, 22 Mar 2012 11:24:32 EST http://www.archlighting.com?rssLink=LEED%3a+Sustainable+Strategies+for+Interior+LightingAt the end of this session, you should be able to follow LEED criteria to help achieve green building certification; list which LEED categories apply to interior lighting and how you may earn points on your next project by implementing the solutions outlined; describe today’s changing aggressive energy legislation and what you can do to meet or exceed these requirements; and finally, describe revolutionary new lighting control technologies that save energy and help achieve LEED certification.Thu, 11 Aug 2011 09:54:39 EST http://www.archlighting.com?rssLink=Achieving+Sustainable+Design+Goals+with+Tubular+Daylighting+TechnologiesBy the end of this course you should be able to describe why daylight is an important component of sustainable design. You will be able to compare and contrast the different daylighting strategies available. You will also understand the minimum requirements for achieving LEED with daylighting and cite the specific ways that tubular daylighting devices can help projects earn LEED accreditation. Fri, 1 Apr 2011 10:03:27 EST http://www.archlighting.com?rssLink=Introduction+to+Tubular+Daylighting+DevicesThis learning unit will describe the benefits of dayligting in multiple building environments. You will be able to differentiate between different daylighting strategies and identify advantages and disadvantages of different strategies. You will be introduced to tubular daylighiting devices and be able to describe how they are different from other daylighting product categories.Tue, 1 Jun 2010 05:48:38 EST http://www.archlighting.com?rssLink=LED+Lighting+Education+for+SpecifiersYou will be introduced to the technology that makes LEDs so dynamic and powerful. You will be able to compare and contrast LED technology to alternative, more traditional light sources and be able to describe the most appropriate applications for LED lighting. Finally you will be able to describe a bit about the projected future of LEDs in architectural and lighting design.Tue, 1 Jun 2010 05:49:04 EST http://www.archlighting.com?rssLink=Making+the+Grade%3a+Designing+and+Building+with+LEED+for+Schools+2009 Making the Grade – LEED for Schools 2009 is an AIA-certified learning unit that will explain how and why indoor air quality and acoustic performance affect learning environments. Furthermore, the course provides an in-depth review of both indoor air quality and acoustic performance as they relate to the LEED® for Schools 2009 requirements.Tue, 1 Jun 2010 06:13:41 EST http://www.archlighting.com?rssLink=Daylight+Harvesting%3a+Controlling+Electric+Light+in+Response+to+DaylightBy the end of this online unit you will be able to define what daylight harvesting is and several benefits associated with this design strategy. You will be able to list daylight harvesting design control considerations and related components. Finally, you will be able to determine the best applications to take advantage of daylight harvesting controls.Tue, 1 Jun 2010 06:04:29 EST
