One of the most important and least explored phases of lighting design is that complex and indefinite one which is known as glare. (M. Luckiesh and L.L Holiday; 1925). Proper lighting design, architectural lighting and glare mitigation are often hard to combine, particularly when a certain appearance is desired, but the fixture selected is not conducive to the space because of glare. VCP, UGR, Intensity or Luminance values on their specification sheet? How do we balance glare mitigation or create a healthy space while meeting the architectural design intent? This presentation will teach the designer how to read and understand these values and terms all while creating a healthy space. Lighting Design can add to the architectural value and safety of a building or an environment. Glare from a lighting fixture can result in discomfort or in some cases pain and inability to navigate a space. It is important to understand the terms and information available to the design community when comparing fixture specifications and determining the best fixture for an application that will mitigate glare and provide safe illumination for the user of the building.
The COVID-19 global pandemic is having an enormous impact on almost every aspect of our lives. The rapid and easy spread of this virus has created a substantial amount of interest in the germicidal properties of ultra violet and the possibility of using this spectrum to disinfect various applications. This presentation will cover the three types of ultra violet and levels of germicidal properties and capabilities. The history of the use of various lamp sources which can deliver UV will be explored as well as the risks associated with the various types. UVC will be specifically discussed as a germicidal, including how it can be used in various applications such as water, air cleaning and sanitizing items and surfaces, as well as “inactivates” COVID –19 (SARS-CoV-2).
