ED100    Spring 2008

The Puget Sound Section of the Illuminating Engineering Society is once again pleased to present the IES ED100 “Introduction to Light and Lighting” fundamental lighting education course. The course will be held on Friday May 16th, Saturday May 17th, and Saturday May 31st.

This series of educational classes provide the foundation for understanding light, color, light sources, and luminaires. In addition, the course introduces the student to fundamental calculations and lighting design. This is a must for those who are new to lighting or those who want to refresh their understanding of the principals of illumination. Each student enrolled in the course will receive the ED100 Introduction to Light and Lighting manual. Lunch will be provided on all three days. The class will fill up, and study guides must be ordered in advance, so please register by May 4th.

ED100.1 Light and Color Light as radiant energy; color theory; source color characteristics; the five basic lighting metrics.

ED100.2 Light, Vision and Perception The human visual system; physiological and psychological needs and responses of people to the luminous environment. Introduction to the new IESNA Lighting Design Guide on quality and quantity recommendations.

ED100.3 Light Sources Basic information on operating principles, components, types, applications, auxiliary equipment and special considerations of the different families of lamps.

ED100.4 Luminaires and their Photometric Data Basic principles used in luminaires design and the terminology commonly used. Review of photometric test report information used to determine luminaire performance.

ED100.5 Lighting Calculations Two methods of calculating illuminance are described: the Lumen Method for average illuminance, and the Inverse Square Law for calculating illuminance at a specific point.

ED100.6 Lighting Applications for Visual Performance A review of factors which affect visual performance (visual tasks, task area, luminaire selection and luminaire layout) in context of six applications (offices, educational facilities, financial facilities, health care facilities, libraries and industrial facilities).

ED100.7 Lighting Applications for Visual Impact An explanation of basic concepts of design and techniques for specific applications (merchandising, museum, restaurants and hospitality spaces, casino and gaming facilities, and houses of worship) where visual impact is an important goal.

ED100.8 Lighting Applications for Exterior Environments Fundamentals of lighting for common exterior applications. Topics include: weather, maintenance, control, vandalism and safety and security. Basic calculation information for floodlighting. Review of lighting criteria for parking lots, roadways, sports facilities, and landscaped areas.

ED100.9 Energy Management and Economics Review of impact of design practices, equipment selection and maintenance on energy management. The economics section provides information regarding the costs and benefits of various alternative solutions for a lighting application.

ED100.10 Daylighting A discussion of the methods for providing daylight and the quality issues that must be considered in daylight spaces to achieve pleasing, comfortable and energy efficient daylighting systems.
