The new ED-150 course is designed as the next
course for those who have already completed the ED-100 fundamentals
program or have gained basic lighting knowledge in other educational
programs (courses in academia or industry). It is strongly
recommended that prior to taking ED-150 registrants attend
a session on ED-200.1, Lighting Mathematics, and also have
copies of IESNA publication TM-1, Lighting Metrics for reference.
Module 1: Designing for Lighting Quality
The first session sets the tone for the entire course. It
is intended to provide an overview of the course and to
inspire attendees about the importance of lighting. It provides
the "big picture" view of the lighting design
process.
Module 2: Vision
Good lighting design and engineering require an understanding
of vision and the perceptions that result from it. Anatomy,
optics and physiology comprise the components of vision
that a lighting professional should understand. The module
discusses how vision "works," and how that process
affects lighting design.
Module 3: Color
This module assumes that participants understand the fundamental
concepts of color vision and builds on knowledge about the
relationship between CCT and CRI. The derivation and limitations
of these metrics is explored to justify specification of
lamp color properties for various applications.
Module 4: Establishing Lighting Goals (Schematic Design)
A review of how the lighting design process provides a context
for establishing design goals that address both visual performance
and the quality of the visual environment before equipment
selection. Topics include defining spatial/architectural
constraints, setting luminous hierarchy goals and creating
spatial impressions.
Module 5: Light Sources
Rather than reviewing specific products, the module explores
the reasons behind new developments and the relevant performance
metrics that can be used to assess new lamps and ballasts.
Module 6: Luminaires and Optical Control
The principles of reflection, transmission, and refraction
are explained and demonstrated to provide a clear understanding
of how luminaires control light. The differences between
the often-confused terms luminance and luminous intensity
are explained.
Module 7A: Lumen Method
Course attendees with extensive experience making lighting
calculations with the lumen method may not understand its
foundation. The module explains the limits of the method
and its useful extensions, particularly in determining interreflected
light.
Module 7B: Calculation of Illuminance at a Point
The module provides an understanding the origin, use and
limits of the inverse square law and the cosine law of incidence.
It provides attendees with the ability to determine the
illuminance from a point source in somewhat complicated
geometries, and the illuminance from rectangular area sources
using exitances and configuration factors in indirect and
daylighting applications.
Module 8: Controls for Lighting
This session provides a foundation for understanding control
strategies and reviews the factors that influence the basic
selection of control techniques. By giving an overview of
the various control technologies, attendees are able to
integrate knowledge of control products with appropriate
applications.
Module 9: Building Electrical Systems
The characteristics of electric power systems as they relate
to buildings and lighting systems is discussed to give greater
understanding about power distribution to attendees who
may have previously only specified lighting loads and used
electrical engineers to design the overall system for a
building.
Module 10: Daylighting Analysis
The session focuses on the characteristics of daylight delivery
systems (vertical fenestration, skylights, lightshelves,
shading and overhangs), how they perform, how they can be
integrated with electric lighting systems and how architecture
must be modified to accomodate them.
Module 11: Economics
A skill-based session with example problems and group exercises
to provide hands-on experience in converting between present
value, annualized cost and future cost, and in conducting
and interpreting the results of a complete life cycle cost
analysis of several lighting system options.
