About this Event

IES Winnipeg - Lighting Controls Workshop is an in-person, interactive event Sponsored by Efficiency Manitoba, this full-day workshop will be led by Dan Blitzer of The Practical Lighting Workshop (breakfast and lunch included)
Workshop Highlights

Explore practical approaches to lighting controls design, including:

• Understanding Lighting Controls: Explore control strategies, inputs, processing, outputs, and the differences between variable and fixed control.
• From Requirements to Design: Learn how to translate codes, owner preferences, and project requirements into clear control intent and performance specifications tailored to different space types.
• Sequences of Operation and System Architecture: Develop specific sequences of operations and explore how controllers, hubs, communication, and input devices work together to deliver the intended performance.
• Manufacturer-Led Design Round-Table: Work through how to implement the design concepts discussed during the workshop using many different manufacturers’ specific equipment. Explore product displays and solutions in an interactive, mini-tradeshow setting.

The workshop is intended for lighting designers, electrical engineers, consulting professionals, distributors, contractors, and others involved in supplying, specifying, designing, or installing lighting controls.
