Performance Assessment of Lighting Systems
This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of good lighting practices and discusses the performance assessment methodology.
Good lighting does not necessarily mean more lighting nor does the more lighting means more energy consumption. Good lighting does mean more effective lighting while low on energy consumption. It is important to ensure that while the most appropriate equipment to meet the lighting requirements is used, it is also the most efficient equipment of its type. The most energy efficient lighting installations ensure that lighting is provided only where and when it is required. This may be achieved with appropriate design to produce either uniform general lighting or localized lighting.
This 4 PDH online course is aimed at architects, electrical and control engineers, energy auditors, O&M personnel and general audience who are interested in learning more about performance assessments of lighting systems.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the difference between lighting efficiency and lighting effectiveness
- Learning lighting performance terms and definitions
