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.
AEE has teamed up with the University of Wisconsin-Madison Engineering Professional Development Department to offer this new realtime interactive online seminar program.
You can participate in the program 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 realtime during the six live teleconferencing sessions, as well as in the time between sessions.
About the Seminar
Presented in a series of six two-hour time modules, this program is designed to provide comprehensive professional training in the design and application of energy-effective lighting systems. Fundamentals of Lighting Efficiency Online Seminar is also designed to serve as a preparatory tool for those preparing to take the Certified Lighting Efficiency Professional (CLEP) exam. The seminar will place emphasis on the following areas of instruction:
Evaluating lighting systems through effective audits
Achieving energy-effective lighting systems with high regard to lighting quality and occupants
Examining the latest lighting products for your applications
Performing lighting calculations to obtain proper light levels
Evaluating and implementing effective lighting control strategies
Reviewing environmental impacts of lighting efficiency projects
Calculating and documenting savings achieved through lighting improvements
The following offering(s) of the Fundamentals of Lighting Efficiency Online Seminar are currently scheduled. The program consists of six two-hour teleconferencing sessions, for a total of 12 hours of instruction.
