Description
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.

Learning Outcomes
1. Understand 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. Understand the DOE performance metrics including efficacy (LPW), flicker and power quality, lifetime and color stability, and vertical and horizontal illuminance levels in the classroom.
