Daylighting Forum 2010

Lighting and Health Symposium: Convene and conduct a technical symposium to engage the California scientific community in the research questions that link health effects to the use of daylight and electric lighting. The long term outcome will be improved and increased knowledge of the relationships between lighting and health. This symposium will be coordinated with related research work being performed by other PIER lighting contractors.

Energy Impacts of Daylighting Symposium: Convene and conduct a technical symposium near the end of the third year, to bring together experts on the energy impacts of daylighting, to discuss the findings of this program, related PIER and IOU sponsored work, and other related work outside the state. The symposium, to be fully coordinated with related research by PIER and others, will provide a forum to link the work of this program to the needs of the market, especially utility programs and Title 24, and assess the next steps needed for continued progress in achieving greater energy savings and demand reduction from daylighting installations.
