The IESNA is the recognized technical authority on illumination.
For over 100 years its objective has been to communicate information
on all aspects of good lighting practice to its members, to the
lighting community, and to consumers through a variety of programs,
publications, and services. The strength of the IESNA is its diversified
membership: engineers, architects, designers, educators, students,
contractors, distributors, utility personnel, manufacturers, and
scientists, all contributing to the mission of the Society: to
advance knowledge and disseminate information for the improvement
of the lighted environment to the benefit of society.
The IESNA is a forum for
the exchange of ideas and information and a vehicle for its
members’ professional development and recognition. Through its
technical committees, with hundreds of qualified members from
the lighting and user communities, the IESNA correlates research,
investigations, and discussions to guide lighting experts and
laypersons via consensus based lighting recommendations.
The Society publishes nearly
100 varied publications including recommended practices on a
variety of applications, design guides, technical memoranda,
and publications on energy management and lighting measurement.
The Society, in addition, works cooperatively with related organizations
on a variety of programs and in the production of jointly published
documents and standards.
In addition, the Society
publishes Lighting Design + Application (LD+A) and LEUKOS The Journal of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America. LD+A is a popular
application-oriented monthly magazine. Every issue contains
special feature articles and news of practical and innovative
lighting layouts, systems, equipment and economics, and news
of the industry. LEUKOS contains technical papers, most
of which are presented at the Society’s Annual Conference. IESNA
has a strong education program with basic and intermediate level
courses and seminars offered through its Sections.
The Society has two types
of membership: individual and sustaining. Applications and current
dues schedules are available upon request from the Membership
Department. IESNA local, regional, and international meetings,
conferences, symposia, seminars, workshops, and lighting exhibitions
(LIGHTFAIR INTERNATIONAL) provide current information on the
latest developments in illumination.
