SUMMARY:WEBINAR:  Rethinking Light\, Design & Human Experience in a Solid State World of LEDs
DESCRIPTION:1 LU | HSW (AIA & IDCEC) \nPresented by BostonLightSource \nZoom Registration \nCourse description:  Light plays a critical role in the spaces we construct and for the people who inhabit them. As the built environment transforms from the assembly of inanimate materials crafted by a series of independent trade artisans to a world of intelligent\, interconnected solid state electronic devices\, new methodology is the imperative. \nThe advancement of LED technology has disrupted the electric lighting industry. As the rate of innovation continues\, opportunities rise to leverage LED sources in ways that were never possible with legacy sources. Unconventional thinking about light as a naturally occurring phenomenon allows for greater design freedom and reduced environmental impacts. This course explains basic and advanced optical theories of how natural and electric light can be used together to their maximum potential\, redefining many of the elements of design to enhance the human experience and improve infrastructure and connectivity. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExplore the basics of advanced architectural anidolic daylighting strategies and determine how they can be deployed with LEDs in solid state lighting technologies.\nAnalyze human visual interpretation of light and color and how that affects perception in the built environment; distinguish different types of light spectrum control and discuss the color tuning abilities of tunable white fixtures to improve the comfort and well-being of people in the noted environment.\nIdentify application best practices for minimal energy usage in commercial and institutional settings using specific examples that focus on energy efficiency and sustainable design values.\nRecognize the role of a lighting system as the backbone infrastructure in the next generation of buildings that synthesizes all elements of lighting design – industrial\, optical\, electrical\, thermal and mechanical.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: New Principles in Residential Design Using Opening Glass Walls
DESCRIPTION:1 LU | HSW \nPresented by NanaWall \nZoom Registration \nCourse Description: People have been spending more time at home and doing activities that were commonly done elsewhere such as working\, school learning\, etc. Post-pandemic\, it appears that people will continue to opt to work or learn at home\, at least on a part-time (hybrid) basis if not full-time. Residential buildings need to respond to new reality of flexibility to provide openness when appropriate but separation when needed – both for functioning and for health. The issues are true for both new building design and construction as well as for the renovation of existing buildings. Large operable glass walls provide both linear and spatial options to open or isolate spaces. \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nExplain the welfare aspects of design and product selection that enable equitable access.\nAssess the safety aspects of incorporating product selections that protect buildings and people from harm and damage.\nIdentify and recognize the significance of ongoing health concerns related to residential design and product selection.\nDetermine ways to incorporate the design principles into single family building projects.
