“Advanced Lighting Controls” is a new free course from Slipstream

Advanced Lighting Controls is a new free course from Slipstream. Our goal is to help more building owners, contractors, and engineers understand how and why to implement lighting controls systems.

Advanced lighting controls result in an average of nearly 70% lighting energy savings. Unfortunately, there is an industry-wide knowledge gap about how to utilize advanced controls to capitalize on energy savings and ensure buildings run at peak performance.

Slipstream was awarded a grant by the Department of Defense (DoD) Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) to develop a comprehensive training resource on advanced lighting controls. Slipstream partnered with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, NextEnergy, Fraunhofer USA, Trane, and bluEvolution to make this course. 

Topics include:

• Fundamentals of lighting control systems
• Common advanced control strategies including task tuning, daylighting, occupancy sensing, HVAC integration and emergency lighting
• Types of controls
• Case studies
• Introduction to DesignLights Consortium
• Cybersecurity

HeatSpring learners should check out the 46-minute “HVAC Integration” video to achieve maximum energy efficiency by dimming lights and adjusting HVAC set points when a space is not being used.

Awesome free courses like Advanced Lighting Controls are fun to work on and distribute. Are there other topics you want to learn about that you’re not finding on HeatSpring? My contact info is below if you have any requests – it would be great to hear from you. 🙌🏼
