Case Study: LEED with Lighting
Join us on February 3rd for the 1st Wednesday Technical Roundtable on Lighting Retrofits.
When Goshow Architects relocated to an existing commercial building, sustainable design and LEED CI Certification was the goal, despite several obstacles - including having no control over the HVAC system. The team was forced to seek alternative means of reducing the total energy consumption of their new space, including the use of advanced lighting controls. With the assistance of Encelium Technologies, Goshow installed an integrated lighting control and energy management system with six distinct strategies, including: time scheduling, daylight harvesting, task tuning, occupancy control, personal control, and variable load shedding. More details here.
This event is free for members at our SUPPORTER level or higher. AIA Continuing Education Credit: HSW/SD 1.5 (AIA credits may also be used by NY State Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors)
