Ms. Lyn L. Gomes, P.E., CCP, LEED AP, CLCATT

Lyn and Rick will present their recommendations for lighting control system design and commissioning for new construction and existing buildings. Together, they will provide practical guidelines for designing a lighting control system that can be applied immediately. Implementing their recommendations will result in a project with fewer RFIs, prevent inappropriate “or-equal” submittals, and that can be programmed successfully so they have a fighting chance of passing testing. They will share their lessons learned, discuss the use of the Title 24 forms as a checklist for design, provide recommendations for daylighting and occupancy sensors, how to prevent issues that crop up during commissioning (i.e. functional testing), and the difference between a control intent narrative and a sequence of operations. This presentation is geared towards engineers/designers of lighting control systems and commissioning providers.

Biography:

Ms. Gomes is the lead Commissioning Authority for kW Engineering. Her 15 years of combined experience in HVAC design, construction, and startup make her a triple threat in the world of commissioning. She is passionate about lighting controls and commissioning because of the new possibilities for saving energy in both new and existing buildings. Ms. Gomez’s recent projects include enhanced commissioning of a 216,000 sq ft LEED Gold lab building, and lighting commissioning for a city community center. In her spare time, Lyn is on the advisory board of Techbridge, an afterschool STEM program for girls, who awarded her “role model of the year” in 2009. Lyn received her Bachelor’s of Science from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

Biography:

Mr. Miller has designed lighting and power systems for architects, engineers and builders for nearly forty years. Rick frequently presents seminars on lighting controls at IEEE, IES, PG&E, SCE, and SMUD. Rick is the principal co-author of the California Lighting Controls Training Program (CALCTP), and trains electricians how to install lighting controls. Most recently, Mr. Miller became a Certified Lighting Controls Acceptance Testing Technician, a position created by the new Title 24 energy code.  Mr. Miller is a licensed electrical engineer in California and several other states.
