From wendy.davis at sydney.edu.au Tue Nov 22 16:01:14 2016 From: wendy.davis at sydney.edu.au (Wendy Davis) Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2016 05:01:14 +0000 Subject: [Lighting Students] talk about daylighting this Friday Message-ID: Hello lighting folks, The Faculty is hosting a talk about daylighting this Friday by an international expert in the field, of which you are all invited to attend. Venue, date & time University of Sydney Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning Wilkinson Lecture Theatre 270 (Arch LT 2) 4pm Friday 25 November 2016 Daylight in Buildings: New IES daylighting metrics, context and challenges Lisa Heschong will discuss the motivations, tribulations, triumphs, and challenges that have faced the creation of a new set of annual performance metrics for daylit buildings. Over the past twenty years Ms. Heschong has been at the center of an ongoing effort to bring daylighting analysis into the twenty first century, accounting not only for solar movement and weather patterns, but also dynamic operation of window blinds and complex optical systems, plus occupant comfort and well-being. She will discuss the field study methodology, simulation tool development, and regression analysis used to support the creation of the new metrics described in IES LM-83, and ongoing developments and controversies since that document was published 3 years ago. About the speaker Lisa Heschong was a founding Principal of the Heschong Mahone Group (HMG), VP and Chief Building Scientist at TRC Energy Services, and a licensed architect for 30 years. She is an internationally recognized expert on daylighting, lighting energy use, and human factors in building design. Lisa is perhaps best known for a very influential piece of research that established the link between daylight in classrooms and improved student performance. She participated in the development of energy efficiency codes and standards in California and at the national level, including helping to pioneer the outdoor lighting codes for California?s Title 24. She led HMG and TRC?s multifamily energy efficiency programs, both new and retrofit, for the California utilities for 15 years, and launched research looking at the impacts of tenant behavior on energy use. Lisa Heschong's Thermal Delight in Architecture (MIT Press) is her best known publication, being prescribed reading in architecture degree syllabi around the world. Lisa has taught architectural design at UC Berkeley for a number of years, has spent decades educating design professionals on energy efficiency, and most recently taught a Green Building course at UC Santa Cruz. Ms. Heschong is a Fellow of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), and has also served on the Board of Directors of IES, the (window) Attachments Energy Rating Council, and as Chair of the IES Daylight Metrics Committee. Ms. Heschong received the Haeker Award for lifetime achievement from the Architectural Research Centers Consortium.
