Recorded Webinar: National Energy Code Lighting Requirements

Author: Mathew Holstrom

This On-Demand webinar equips engineers from all fields with a solid understanding of today’s lighting energy standards, with a focus on ASHRAE 90.1-2013 and IECC 2015. The course covers key code requirements, explaining the rationale behind lighting power density thresholds and how advancements like LED technology influence code compliance. It also breaks down exemptions and specific provisions as they relate to different types of buildings and spaces.

Engineers will gain actionable knowledge for meeting code standards throughout the course, including how to handle lighting power density calculations, control strategies, and allowable exceptions. Practical examples are used to illustrate compliance options and highlight potential complications in project execution. By completing this course, participants will be prepared to design lighting systems that align with current energy regulations and support high-efficiency building performance.
