Creating Safe and Sustainable Exterior Spaces using LED Lighting

Description

Between 2018-2030, the urban population is projected to increase in size. Globally, a projected 28% of people worldwide will be concentrated in cities with at least 1 million inhabitants and the number of cities with more than 10 million inhabitants (often termed ‘megacities’) is projected to rise from 33 in 2018 to 43 in 2030. In the first 20 years of this century, the population of inner London has increased by 27%, and outer London by 19%, compared to 16% in other UK cities.

This is why the way we light our urban spaces is so important. It is for safety reasons, but also for wellbeing, preserving our culture, and protecting our nightlife. But the way we light our urban areas needs to be sustainable and ecologically friendly - flora and fauna are in our cities too! We need to ensure that our lighting solutions protect the environment and reduce energy consumption as much as possible.

This CPD training is about lighting for exterior areas. We have over 40 years experience in designing and producing the highest quality LED lighting solutions for cityscapes and suburban streets, commercial properties, industrial settings, and under canopy. We’re going to share this knowledge with you to give you a better understanding of what makes excellent safe and sustainable street lighting.

By the end of this CPD delegates should know:

1. Things to consider when specifying LEDs for exterior residential areas (safety, wellbeing, livable spaces, connected communities).

2. How to make more sustainable choices (energy efficiency, quality & durability, optics, colour, smart technology).

3. Lighting design standards (standards, road classes, design recommendations).
