My Lighting Design Session for Architects coming up at the Texas Society of Architects (TxA) Conference 2024 in Houston

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.
