IES/DLC Workshop
Wed | Feb 1 | 11:30 a.m. HST
In-person & Online
Outdoor lighting supports our 24/7 society, but growing evidence shows negative consequences of over-lighting to ecosystems, astronomy, cultural activities, and our health. Responsible outdoor lighting is a holistic approach to minimize the impacts of light pollution, without compromising safety and environmental safeguards. This panel will address topics such as how lighting affects coastal ecosystems and astronomical study and share resources available to communities, building owners and lighting decisionmakers to reduce the negative impacts from sky glow and light trespass. In addition to the benefits that appropriate lighting can provide to our outdoor environment, there are also energy savings to be captured by only using the right type of light, and only when and where it is needed. The current state of standards and design solutions will be discussed as well as considerations for selecting white and non-white outdoor LED lighting.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the impacts of light pollution on dark skies, wildlife and people.
- Apply strategies to reduce energy use and minimize negative impacts of outdoor light at night.
- Understand how to evaluate performance characteristics of non-white LED outdoor lighting in the absence of relevant standards.
- Learn about Hawaii Energy’s case studies on energy reduction and incentives for outdoor lighting.
