I will be presenting at the annual Texas Society of Architects (TxA) conference again this year in Houston. My session is on lighting design for architects, covering both daylight and electric lighting simulations using a range of tools (used by Lake|Flato), including:
- Revit
- ElumTools (Electric lighting)
- Rhino
- Climate Studio (Annual Daylighting)
- Roast (POE)
On a related note, I am the chair of a national IES committee and will be presenting later today on our new technical memorandum (IES TM-32-24) aimed at standardizing BIM parameters used by lighting designers. Learn more about that here.
The Texas chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) will host its annual conference in Houston later this year. It is a major event with many attendees and vendors. The photo below is from last year's event in Fort Worth, Texas.
Why Lighting Design
I am excited to present on lighting design. I have presented on this topic at Lightfair and the Minnesota AIA Conference on Architecture in the past. I am the chair of a national Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) committee, and I teach lighting design to graduate architecture students as an adjunct at NDSU. I also provide training to professional lighting designers a few times a year. And related, in 2019 I was part of a team that won a Minnesota ACEC award for the creation of the Revit MEP Productivity Pack, which includes a suite of sophisticated luminaire content (I am not associated with this product anymore, since moving to Lake|Flato)).

Title
Lighting the Way to Sustainability
Description
Leverage light to create a bridge to occupant well-being and sustainability. Learn how leading Texas-based architecture firm Lake|Flato Architects, earning the most AIA COTE Top Ten awards, performs lighting analysis throughout the course of a project. Attendees will better understand what is possible and ways to democratize the workflow within a practice — especially those not already engaged in lighting analysis.
The session will be presented by a member of the AIA national COTE leadership who does multiple trainings per year for professional lighting designers. He also chairs a national Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) committee and teaches a lighting design module to his graduate architecture students at NDSU.
