BOC 104 – Efficient Lighting Fundamentals: Course Outline
1. The ‘Big
Picture’ considered (20 min.)
a. Discussion
of energy and lighting practices in typical commercial buildings
b. How to
assess the costs associated with those practices
c. How management
of those costs can affect the bottom line
d. How Energy
Efficient Lighting can affect global change
2. What
is Light anyway? (5 min.)
a. Demonstration
of, “Wave” and “Particle” possibilities
b. The class
decides on a definition
c. Key Terminology
introduced (Absorption, Reflection,)
3. How
much Light is appropriate? (30 min.)
a. More
Keys Terms introduced
b. Participants
learn how to use light meters
c. Reflectivity
and Absorption demonstrated
d. All deciding
factors discussed
e. ‘Recommended’ light
levels demonstrated
f. Participants
pass judgment on Classroom light level
4. How
does Lighting ‘Quality’ figure in? (20 min.)
a. More
terminology introduced (glare, contrast, task/ambient etc.)
b. Participants
demonstrate these ideas to each other
5. Fun
with Lamps (40 min.)
a. The Family
Trees revealed
b. Incandescents,
would Edison still be proud?
c. It’s
a Fluorescent world
d. H.I.D.
not just for street lighting anymore
e. The Induction
Lamp: what are manufacturers waiting for?
6. We
dissect a Ballast (30 min.)
a. Participants
divided into, “Magnetic”, and “Electronic” groups
b. Differences
demonstrated, attributes discussed and debated
c. Operational
issues and costs outlined
d. Retro-fit
possibilities introduced
e. Class
decides on best technology
7. Through
a Luminaire with gun and camera (30 min.)
a. ‘Virtual’ walk-through
of Luminaire types (Demo. Kit)
b. Why we
use what we do
c. Real
walk-through of the building (If possible or appropriate)
8. Controls,
the Last Frontier (40 min.)
a. Why go
to all the bother and Expense?
b. A look
at all the parts, pieces, and strategies
c. Occupancy
Sensors? Sense this!
d. Daylighting
strategies, its free so why not use it!
e. Trouble – and
troubleshooting
f. Retro-fit
possibilities
9. How
we use all this stuff (20 min.)
a. So what
constitutes efficient lighting practice?
b. What
are we trying to accomplish with this light?
c. Does
efficiency pay for itself?
10. How
to get on top of the Operations and Management of Lighting (40
min.)
a. Participants
divided into two camps: the “Spot Re-Lampers”, and the “Group
Re-Lampers”.
b. Good
Operations and Maintenance Practices defined
c. The camps
run the numbers for themselves.
d. The class
decides on the best practices
11. Does
any of this make sense in my building? (40 min.)
a. Retro-Fit
options de-mystified
b. Participants
divided into, ‘Retro-Fit’ and, ‘Re-Design’ groups
c. Bottom
line –vs– Productivity debate
d. Class
determines how that decision is made
12. Coming
soon – More and even tighter Codes and Regulations (20 min.)
a. It’s
not your Daddy’s Energy Code
b. Lamp
and Ballast disposal.….AAAAARRRRGGHHHH!
c. Re-cycling
options, the next wave of opportunity
13. How
to survey your own spaces (25 min.)
a. Just
what are you trying to achieve?
b. How far
to go with this
c. Tools
and Tricks of gathering
d. Demand
Side Management, and what to do with the information
e. The class
surveys the classroom
Facility Project Assignment:
Conduct a Lighting Survey of the facility (or a portion thereof).
