Colour Outside the Lines: Unconventional Applications for Dynamic Lighting

LDS IES webinar 400

Dec 15, 2020

December 17th 12:00 PM ET

Dynamic lighting unlocks a whole new layer of lighting capability for lighting designers and engineers, but do you know how to use it? What applications is it appropriate for and what can it be used to do? This presentation will explore some innovative ways to use dynamic light and showcase some unconventional examples. Presented by Brent Protzman, PHD and Craig Casey, of Lutron’s building science team, the presentation will explore use case examples, key details on how to think outside the box yourself, as well as how implement the strategies presented yourself.

Webinar participants are eligible for one (1) IES Continuing Education Unit (CEU).

PRESENTERS: Brent Protzman, PHD and Craig Casey
Brent Protzman has a Ph.D in Architectural Engineering from the University of Nebraska and is the author of numerous published articles on building science. Brent is a former professor and researcher in the Building Systems Program at the University of Colorado where he focused on human factors in lighting, daylighting performance, and energy audits and simulations. With this expertise, he has unique understanding of the interactions between human-centric design, operational efficiency, and sustainability. Brent serves on the Board of Directors for the Thread wireless networking technology as well as ESFI (Electrical Safety Foundation International), on the Board of Advisors for the Light Concept of the WELL Building Standard, and on the IES Daylighting and Papers Committees.
