With LED technology evolving so quickly, how can designers and engineers specify these new products with confidence? This webinar, presented by an independent lighting expert, provides valuable guidelines and criteria for specifying high quality LED products in the midst of industry growth and change. The webinar covers criteria developed by the U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Star, DesignLights Consortium and a number of other utilities and organizations, in addition to insights based on the presenter's broad experience.
AS A RESULT OF THIS PRESENTATION YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:
- Describe the limitations of LM80 Lumen Maintenance Testing
- Identify the latest developments by industry leaders and choose top quality LED product manufacturers and sales companies
- Recognize a good LED product warranty
- Compare the quality of available LED lighting products and know when other high performance lighting products offer better solutions than current LED technology
- Anticipate LED technology trends and specify with confidence
Who should view this webcast?
ComEd Trade Allies, architects, engineers, lighting and electrical contractors, facility managers, school and healthcare facilities operators, manufacturers, building owners, dealers and distributors, lighting designers, interior designers, energy efficiency specialists, commissioning authorities and anyone interested in commercial building design.
Daylighting webinar series
Energy Center daylighting experts present fundamentals, tools & analysis
Online training · presented by Tate Walker and Scott Schuetter

Daylighting is the technique of bringing natural light into a space and using it to enhance the space's visual quality as well as energy performance. Quality daylighting design practices had fallen out of favor, but are experiencing resurgence as energy costs increase and the sustainability movement gains momentum. The best daylight design begins early and integrates many aspects of building design, from building massing to fenestration attributes to lighting controls.
Join us for two webinars presented by the Energy Center of Wisconsin's Tate Walker, AIA, LEED AP and Scott Schuetter, LEED Green Associate. Register for both webinars and save $10.
Daylighting Fundamentals
On-demand (originally broadcast April 19, 2011) | details & registration
We will touch on all aspects of daylight design at the fundamental level. We will discuss climate considerations; how the building type affects the design; building orientation; lighting controls; fenestration size, location and attributes; and shading conditions.
Daylighting in the Midwest: Tools and Analysis
On-demand (originally broadcast April 26, 2011) | details & registration
We will discuss the daylighting analysis tools available. We will specifically explore SkyCalc and SPOT by utilizing these tools to analyze daylighting design specific to the Midwest.
Hybrid geothermal systems: less is more
Free on-demand webcast (originally broadcast Thursday, September 29, 2011)
Presented by Scott Hackel, PE, LEED AP, Senior Project Manager, Energy Center of Wisconsin
(or view with our alternate player)
Geothermal heat pump systems are an excellent choice for high performance heating, cooling and air conditioning, but cost is often a barrier. The solution? Go hybrid!
Scott discusses the hybrid geothermal approach and reveals the results of an Energy Center study that examined three working hybrid systems to assess how and why they were designed, how well they are now working, and lessons learned along the way.
Scott explains why hybrid systems can be more cost effective for certain projects than other HVAC systems and how this approach impacts energy use and the environment. Scott also presents tools and resources that are available to help owners and designers assess the benefits of implementing hybrid geothermal on their building projects.
Who should watch
This presentation is designed for building designers, owners, engineers and other professionals in the energy industry interested in learning about the hybrid geothermal concept.
