Update on the Latest Editions of Two Sections of the Mandated Energy Code
Attention Electrical and Lighting Professionals!
Recent Legislation in Harrisburg, and in Philadelphia, is a major Game Changer for the Regional Design Professional Community.
Abstract
Energy codes are playing an increasingly significant and far-reaching role in influencing the lighting and electrical design process, particularly concerning environmentally sustainable buildings. This presentation examines the growing impact of these energy efficiency regulations on most new construction projects, as well as on additions, alterations and renovations of existing non-residential buildings. It includes an insightful review of the major mandatory energy code requirements, plus an overview at the two alternative prescriptive path approaches to achieve full compliance for interior lighting and for exterior lighting. Several straightforward examples are provided to illustrate the applicability of the energy code as an integral part of the design process.
Reasons to Attend
These extensively revised code provisions, which are much more comprehensive than in the past, affect virtually all new building projects, as well as most renovation projects for existing buildings, throughout PA, NJ, DE and beyond, within the Mid-Atlantic region. It is noteworthy that the State of New Jersey is already enforcing newer versions of Standard 90.1, exclusively.

Update on the Latest Editions of Two Sections of the Mandated Energy Code
An in-depth survey of the extensive electrical and lighting provisions of the ASHRAE/IES/ANSI Standard 90.1 and their crucial role in the electrical and lighting design process, especially for “sustainable” or “green” buildings. A concise discussion concerning the relationship between Standard 90.1 - 2007 and IECC - 2009 (The International Energy Conservation Code) will be presented; along with the multiple contrasts between these relatively similar, yet slightly different, legislated energy efficiency mandates. This intensive course will provide a detailed incremental examination of the specifics of the electrical and the lighting requirements of the 2007, the 2010, the 2013, and the.2016 editions of Standard 90.1.
Biography:
Carl M. Watson, P.E., MBA, LC is a broadly experienced, knowledgeable and seasoned consulting engineer who specializes in developing and implementing highly effective lighting design and energy cost reduction projects that optimize aesthetics, energy efficiency, and maintainability. He is a Registered Professional Engineer, Licensed in Pennsylvania and he was one of the first engineers in PA to attain the demanding Lighting Certified [LC] credential, a professional designation of the National Council on Qualifications for the Lighting Professions [NCQLP]. Previously, he also achieved the rather unique Certified Lighting Efficiency Professional [CLEP] designation granted by the Association of Energy Engineers [AEE].
Mr. Watson has been an active member of the Illuminating Engineering Society [IES] for over 40 years. He has served in multiple leadership roles on the IES Philadelphia Section’s Executive Board for more than 30 years. In addition, he has been a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers [IEEE] for over 35 years. Mr. Watson currently serves as a member of the Board of Governors of the Electrical Association of Philadelphia [EAP].
Mr. Watson is a recipient of both Section and Regional Awards from the International Illumination Design Awards [IIDA] program created by the IES, which is an annual lighting design project competition. Additionally, he has served on jury panels for either the local IES Section’s or the IES Region’s IIDA judging process.
Mr. Watson has published articles in Control Engineering and Computer Technology Review, and in national trade publications such as Energy User News (now known as Engineered Systems) and Lighting Design & Application (a monthly publication of the IES). Over several decades, he has conducted numerous training courses for technical and non-technical audiences, both individually, and as one part of a multiple person instructional team, held at local, regional and national forums. In addition, Mr. Watson was the instructor for a capstone course on lighting and electrical systems design as an Associate Professor in the Architecture Department of the School of Media Arts and Design at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA.
Mr. Watson’s higher education path began with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with concentrations in Electric Power and Control Systems.
Mr. Watson’s post-graduate degree was attained several years later, during the evenings, while working full-time in as a technical marketing professional, and included a Master of Science in Business Administration with concentrations in Brand/Product Management and Marketing Research. Both degrees were earned at Drexel University.
