Shedding Some Light
On the New York State Energy Code     

Tuesday, August 14th

6:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Se’lux

5 Lumen Lane, Highland, NY

Starting with a tour of Se’lux, one of the Hudson Valley’s premier lighting manufacturers, we will then hear a presentation on the Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State, and the ramifications therein for commercial lighting design.
This presentation will serve to familiarize the audience with the layout and content of New York’s Commercial Energy Code and its requirements.  We will identify those sections of the Energy Code that are most often misunderstood, and are the most challenging to understand, with a special focus on the requirements for lighting.
This Program will give the participants a clear understanding of the following:
  • Energy Code requirements of current and future building codes and standards in NYS
  • Energy and cost consequences of not meeting compliance in key areas
  • Lighting Power Density (LPD) calculations required to meet code
  • Lighting Power Allowance calculations required to meet code
  • Minimum requirements for lighting controls
Light refreshments will be provided.
This presentation qualifies for one AIA LU/HSW/SD
Advance registration fees:
$10 for Chapter members and $15 for the general public.  At the door: $15 for members and $20 for the public. Non-member students can pay $15 at the door with a valid school ID.
