The Department of Energy has initiated a research project to develop and test novel SSL luminaire designs for the classroom of the future. This presentation will present key findings from this research effort. Topics covered will include how major drivers such as new trends in lighting and controls, new trends in learning, new requirements for the classroom, and a new understanding of human centric lighting, change the way we need to light classrooms. The presentation will cover the DOE-proscribed goals for energy efficiency, teacher control over lighting intensity and CCT, lumen maintenance and color stability, luminaire performance and lighting levels on classroom desks and walls. After the presentation, the attendee will understand how to meet or exceed the DOE goals.
CourseDescription
LearningObjectives
1. Identify the challenges of lighting the classroom of the future with its multi-purpose spaces, advanced communications technologies, and multi-generational occupants and become familiar with the DOE design for the classroom of the future including layout, flexibility, and lifetime of materials and luminaires.
2. Examine the DOE performance goals including teacher control of intensity and color (CCT), balance of daylight and electric light, and centralized control.
3. Analyze the DOE performance metrics including luminaire efficacy (LPW), flicker and power quality, lifetime and color stability, and vertical and horizontal illuminance levels in the classroom.
4. Compare the results to date of room-level performance when lighting for students, for the aging eye, for audio/visual and whiteboard modes, to balance daylight, for maximum alertness and maximum calming.

One Key Finding is Absolutely Clear
LEDs Make Quality
Lighting Affordable For
All Classrooms
58
Schools Are Built To Last Decades
59
LED Luminaires Should Last 50 years
Project: Alexander Graham Bell Elementary SchoolLocation: Kirkland, WAArchitect: DLR Group

Long Life Changes the Value Equation
Proper LED luminaire and system design gives the school;- Decades without maintenance- Decades of lower energy costs- “Future Proof” operation
• Tunable White Available Today• Teacher can change pre-sets as teaching changes• Wall-mount and smart phone control• Local and Central Control• IoT enabled• Cost effective today and cost effective for tomorrow
61
This Means We Must Educate, Educate, Educate
- No other building element has undergone such rapid change
- Massively more value at lower cost- School districts need to know this- Architects need to know this- Lighting Designers and Specifiers need to know this- Engineers need to know this- Contractors need to know this- Collaboration is needed to make this happen
