Inline Electric's Energy Efficiency Expo is an opportunity for architects, contractors, property managers, and others to stay informed about the newest energy efficient products and strategies.
Each expo includes dozens of vendors, with their newest energy saving products on display, and important classes in which you can earn CEU credits. We hope you'll come join us!
CEU 1: Signify 2:20p-3:30p
Speaker: Kwong Man
​
Accreditation Info: 1.0 LU
Title: Lighting 101
Description: Lighting 101 is separated into 3 topics. The first topic covers the principles of optics and how they are used in luminaire design. We will discuss reflection and refraction as the core building blocks of optical design, and explore some advanced topics, such as Fresnel lenses, light guides, and prismatic deglaring. The second topic covers color, particularly CRI, and the challenges of using a single metric to qualify our light sources. We will discuss TM-30 as an
alternative to CRI and the advantages and disadvantages it offers. The third topic discusses glare, how to quantify it with UGR, and methods of lowering UGR in our application.
CEU 2: Lutron 4:15p-5:15p
Speaker: Justin Watson
Accreditation Info: 1.0 LU / HSW AIA 0920028720 / ASID 119363 / IDCEC 119363 / USGBC 0920028720 / HSW BS2023

Title: Building Sustainability - How innovative lighting controls and shading solutions support sustainable building design.
Description: Sustainability is an oft-discussed design term; yet there is confusion about what it is and how to use new (and existing) technologies to achieve sustainable building designs. This course helps professionals understand: 1) how to define sustainability and its role in the built environment; 2) what benefits it can provide to people, buildings, and businesses; and 3) how to practically apply best practices in the design of lighting controls and shading solutions that facilitate and support sustainable spaces.
CEU 3: Acuity 6p-7p
Speaker: Brian McDonald
Accreditation Info: 1.0 LU / AIA
Title: Five Ways LED Lighting is Transforming America's Downtowns
Description: There are many facets to a vibrant downtown. This course will discuss how exterior lighting can be a cornerstone of revitalizing a city's urban core. We will identify factors that give a downtown a strong sense of place, that may not exist in suburban or rural areas. Describe how lighting affects city vitality in both nighttime and daytime. Demonstrate how LED luminaires can reduce city energy & maintenance by over 50%, positively impacting operating budgets. We will conclude by discussing smart solutions that can simplify asset management and other applications through connectivity.
