Speaker:
Eric Leber, Cree Lighting
Abstract: Why is LED lighting important today? Subjects
Covered: LED considerations for power efficiency, heat dissipation, optics, and
systems integration. Current market trends and opportunities. How
to identify quality LED lighting and understanding LED ratings. Last
portion of the lecture will focus on LED applications and case studies showing
the impact of LED.
Biography: Eric Leber has been in energy efficiency management and
lighting for over 10 years. He has designed and led projects for Yahoo!, Kaiser
Permanente, Caesar’s Palace, Hilton Hotels, and wineries, such as Kendall
Jackson. Mr. Leber has published several articles regarding his work with
lighting retrofits in the New York Times, MSNBC, and Forbes.com. He was
most recently featured in the “Practical Wine and Vineyards” and “Wine Business
Monthly” magazines for energy management solutions in food process
manufacturing. Mr. Leber has also worked with algae growth development on
the Hawaiian Islands and the regulation of circadian rhythms in the body by
using solid-state lighting. In 2010, he led an energy management branch
based in San Leandro to earning 6 PG&E awards. Mr. Leber is
currently a Business Development Manager at Cree, a US based LED manufacturer.
His current focus is to help educate and specify LED lighting design
solutions for a more energy efficient future in California.
Speaker: Ron
France, Leviton
Abstract: Overview of the new Title 24 code, summarizing changes and
the impact and concerns on the design of commercial buildings, parking garages,
and site lighting. Design impacts on dimming systems, daylight harvesting
systems, overall lighting controls, sub-metering, plug load control, and demand
response will be discussed.
Biography: Ron France is a 1985 graduate of Youngstown State University
with BSAS degree in Electrical Engineering Technology. He has over 25
years of electrical engineering experience working primarily with URS out of
Grand Rapids Michigan. At URS he branched out of the electrical
department and developed a communications engineering department to design
voice, video and data systems. He led the effort to integrate lighting controls
and building management systems into facility design. He has also been a
VP of Sales for CTA in Grand Rapids, a local lighting rep agency in charge of
all technical support, including Leviton Lighting Energy Solutions. He
has since joined Leviton and relocated to the bay area serving Northern
California as a Technical Sales Specialist. Ron’s specialties include: lighting,
lighting control design, building management systems integration, network
integration and general electrical engineering. Ron is a local member of
IES and the Ben Franklin Club and resides with his family in Antioch, CA.
Speaker:
Halley Fitzgerald, Arup Engineering
Abstract: The new version of Title 24 code is light on LPD changes
but comes with major changes to minimum lighting control requirements. These
changes will affect lighting control systems and zoning, the light fixture
specified, and lighting layouts. This presentation is a brief – but detailed –
look at how these changes will affect lighting system design for several
project and space types.
Biography: Halley Fitzpatrick is a Lighting Consultant for Arup who
specializes in minimizing the energy use of lighting systems while maintaining
quality in the luminous environment. In addition to commercial and
institutional lighting design, Halley's experience includes interactive
lighting exhibit design, software programming, lighting energy audits, and
recommendations for existing buildings. Notable lighting design projects in
Halley's portfolio include the Yale University Ingalls Rink (IES Illumination
Award of Merit), California Science Center Endeavor Space Shuttle Exhibit,
National Grid Headquarters (LEED "double" Platinum), and the Samsung
Device Solutions American Headquarters (currently under construction).
Mr. Fitzpatrick is an experienced speaker and lighting educator specializing in classes with a focus on energy with consideration for the end-users. He has taught classes and guest lectured for The PG&E Pacific Energy Center, University of California, Yale School of Forestry, and Academy of Art University, as well as various local IES and AIA chapters.
Halley holds a Master’s of Science degree in Building Systems Engineering and a degree in Architectural Engineering, both from the University of Colorado in Boulder. He is also a CA licensed Professional Electrical Engineer.

Speaker: Rick
Miller, RNM Engineering
Abstract: “Paperwork” – The Bane of
the New Title 24
So you think you know what Title 24
is all about? You know about the allowable watts for lighting and about
the required controls for lighting, now learn about the required paperwork!
Yes, Title 24 requires paperwork and lots of it. “Passing grades”
are required by the designer, commissioning agent, manufacturers and vendors,
installing contractor, and acceptance testing technician.
Rick Miller will share how to
survive the Title 24 paperwork tide. A quick review of the thirteen
Certificates of Compliance that the design engineer needs to complete and place
in the drawings in order to submit for a building permit will be followed by an
explanation of the Commissioning process and its five Certificates of
Commissioning Review to be completed by the commissioning agent. Learn
about the eleven Certificates of Installation that are required to be completed
by the installing contractor or the construction foreman. Rick will finish
his session by explaining the job of the newly created Certified Lighting
Controls Acceptance Testing Technician and the four Certificates of Acceptance
that are required to be completed. If everyone has done everything right
then all that the Building Inspector is required to do is to verify that all
the Certificates are completed with a passing grade.
Biography: Rick Miller, PE, LC, LEED AP, CLCATT has designed lighting
and power systems for architects, engineers and builders for nearly forty years.
He frequently presents seminars on lighting controls at IEEE, IES,
PG&E, SCE, and SMUD. He is the principal co-author of the
California Lighting Controls Training Program (CALCTP), and trains electricians
how to install lighting controls. Most recently, he became a Certified
Lighting Controls Acceptance Testing Technician, a position created by the new
Title 24 energy code. Mr. Miller is a licensed electrical engineer in
California and several other states.
The afternoon presentations will cover
several important topics relating to National Electrical Code changes and the
final session will be Q and A.
Session 2: Code Update: Engineering Design to
comply with the NEC and CEC
Speaker:
John Taecker, P.E., Underwriters Laboratories
Abstract: John will present an overview of the significant changes to
the 2011 National Electrical Code (NEC), which is the basis for the 2013
California Electrical Code (CEC). Changes include service definitions,
labeling requirements for available fault currents, fine stranded conductor
terminations, grounding electrode requirements, reorganization of Article 310,
health care facilities, and three new NEC articles.
Biography: John Taecker, P.E. has worked for Underwriters Laboratories
Inc. for 28 years. He has a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Cal Poly, San
Luis Obispo, and is a California Registered Professional Engineer in Safety
Engineering. He has served on various building, mechanical, and plumbing code
development committees, and actively participates in all levels of the code
development process for ICC and IAPMO. He is a nationally recognized speaker on
electrical, building, mechanical, and plumbing products and installations.
Session 3: Q & A with Your Favorite
Electrical Equipment Supplier Reps.
For the previous two IEEE Seminars,
the four “Fixtures” from GE, Eaton, IEM, and Schneider Electric have reviewed
power distribution equipment basics, and discussed specifications. This
year, the GE and Eaton Representatives will stand before the seminar attendees
with open minds to answer your questions. So, bring some hard questions
pertaining to electrical distribution equipment, products and applications,
codes and standards, and they will do their best to address your industry
issues and concerns.
