In the past decade, change has become nearly constant in the traditionally staid lighting industry. In this roundup interview published in ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR, seven industry experts talk about major trends.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced its preliminary determination of energy savings for ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2019, preliminarily affirming that the updated code will increase energy efficiency in commercial buildings.

Today, the Illuminating Engineering Society announced its Executive Director, Timothy Licitra, has accepted a new Executive Director position at an engineering association based in the New York Metropolitan Area.

“What if we looked at our lighting community as part of one united organization instead of a group of disparate parts competing for dominance? What if we elected a leader to guide us through this period of transition and gave them the authority to assemble the parts to strengthen the future of our community?”

Juno’s Trac-Master LED Vertical Cylinder Series offers a fresh take on a traditional aesthetic while providing strong performance. With up to 5,000+ lumens available, up to 112 lumens/W efficacy, and rated life of 50,000 hours, they are well-suited for retail, commercial or residential lighting applications.

A study funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates the energy savings opportunity associated with advanced lighting research conducted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) related to glare, flicker, color rendering, non-visual effects of lighting, and outdoor environmental effects of lighting.

The University of Colorado Boulder has established a new professional graduate certificate in architectural lighting.

Continuing the positive momentum of a nearly three-point bump in January, the Architecture Billings Index (ABI) reached its first positive mark since February 2020, according to The American Institute of Architects (AIA).

The Illuminating Engineering Society is looking for significant new advancements in lighting products, research, publications, and design tools from the past year for its next annual Progress Report.
