LDA Represents Sustainability in Lighting Design
Posted by Bryan Klammer
The future of the lighting design industry is undergoing dynamic changes as a result of increased environmental consciousness throughout the world. Effects of LEED sustainable building design and increasingly strict energy codes (California’s Title 24 and ASHRAE) combined with the fact that a staggering 25% of all building energy is used on lighting have brought sustainable lighting to the forefront of energy efficient building design. Over the past few months, Chip Israel traveled the globe to provide a voice for the lighting design community on the topic. Here are a few of the conferences and forums he has been a part of:
