Program Description: 12.00 - 1.15 pm
The June program will focus on energy tax incentives and how lighting systems contribute to energy efficiency.
Part 1: Tax Incentives for Energy Efficient Lighting Systems in EPAct 2005
Richard Heinisch, Manager of Technical Services, Lithonia Lighting
Part 2: Distributed Lighting Control
John Bagwell, Director, Synergy Lighting Controls
Proper lighting plays a major role in facilitating the health, safety, wellbeing, and productivity of building occupants. The program features lighting-related tax incentives for commercial buildings found in EPAct 2005 and focuses on designing more energy efficient buildings through distributed lighting control strategies.
The program will lead to an understanding of how the tax incentives work, how to demonstrate compliance with the documentation requirements, how to use spreadsheets designed to estimate EPAct and energy savings, advantages and disadvantages of traditional lighting control solutions, new concepts of distributed lighting control solutions with resultant financial benefits.
