Learning Objective 1:
Participants will be able to describe the market shift from daylight harvesting to networked lighting controls in response to LEDs.
Learning Objective 2:
Participants will be able to discuss emerging technologies in lighting control strategies as it relates to joining energy efficiency measures to occupant comfort.
Learning Objective 3:
Participants will be able to identify incoming changes to code and utilities incentives as they adapt to new/integrated control strategies pertaining to building, floor, space, and individual preferences.
Learning Objective 4:
Participants will be able to illustrate the history of energy and non-energy benefits from lighting control strategies, but also, how they will influence additional building control systems to maximize savings.
