Free Webinar: Lighting Controls Design and Documentation, November 5, 9-11:30am PT
Event Description
This class walks you through the control design process and reviews the required documents needed for a successful lighting control project. Lighting designer Yukiko Yoshida and lighting controls specialist Charles Knuffke show how to come up with control intent based on project needs and walk you through documents such as OPR (Owner's Project Requirements), SOO (Sequence of Operations), and all others needed to describe a complete lighting control system. Along the way, they will give examples of what California Energy Code compliance entails. They'll cover how you can communicate with project team members using simple sketches to show intent. They will explain how to create the Construction Documents that are straight-forward and complete.
The objective of this course is that at the conclusion, participants will be able to:
Purpose of lighting controls
Starting the control design process
Selecting control strategies
Controlling the visual environment
Communication among the project team
Documents overview and important points
Control intent narrative
Reflected Ceiling Plan
Single line diagram
Detail drawings
Schedules
Sequence of operations
