4 Hours of Instruction: Earns 0.4 CEU / 4 PDH
Now accepting registrations for program beginning August 29, 2011
Presented online in two sequential live two-hour sessions, this seminar is designed bring together and systematically assess the factors critical to deciding whether dimming or non-dimming ball`asts will be most appropriate and cost effective for specific daylight harvesting and peak load shedding lighting applications.

You can participate in the seminar from your office, home, or anywhere you have access to the internet and a phone. You'll have opportunities to interact with your instructor and colleagues in real time during the two live teleconferencing sessions.

ABOUT THE SEMINAR

AIA Learning Units Eligible


This course has been approved by AIA for continuing education credits. The Association of Energy Engineers is now an approved training provider within the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Continuing Education Systems (CES) Registered Provider program. The AIA requires that its registered architect members earn 18 Learning Unit (LU) hours of continuing education credit annually (eight hours of which must be related to Health, Safety, and Welfare topics and four of those eight in Sustainable Design) to remain in good standing. Architectural boards in 40 states, 10 Canadian Provinces, and 19 countries have implemented mandatory continuing education (MCE) for re-licensure.

Do dimming ballasts really save kilowatt-hours and peak kilowatts compared to high performance fixed output T8 systems? Are dimming systems cost effective for daylight harvesting and peak load shedding applications? This course is designed to guide you step by step through:

  • Comparing high performance dimming and non-dimming T8 systems in daylight harvesting and peak load shedding applications
  • Analyzing options to dimming fluorescent systems in conference rooms, restaurants, auditorium and other dramatic/aesthetic applications
  • Evaluating compact fluorescent and metal halide dimming
  • Assessing how expensive, high-tech systems compare with inexpensive, rock-solid low-tech systems

You'll gain insight into what many facility and maintenance professionals think about dimming systems. Also considered is whether there should be special concerns about side lighting with dimming and non-dimming ballasts. Systems which do not require dimming ballasts will also be discussed.

The seminar is presented as a simulated 10-round contest, considering one by one each of 10 elements critical to determining if and when dimming is truly cost effective. Class participants will actively participate in assessing the outcome of each round of the contest.
