9th March 2022
The March AUE 2022 Virtual CPD & KNOWLEDGE Series event is taking place on Wednesday 9th, covering the topic Light & Lighting. Lighting of Workplaces part 1. Indoor Workplaces. The event platform will be open from 09:30 giving you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with the platform and network with AUE colleagues ahead of the session at 10:00-11:00. Afterwards you'll be able to network further, using the networking carousel and visit the expo.
Speaker:
Sophie Parry MIET FSLL, Technical Applications Consultant, ZG Lighting Ltd UK & Ireland
Session Synopsis:
Light & lighting of the work place is in an interesting place. It is now recognised that indoor electric lighting needs to aspire to deliver all the subtle qualities of daylight. The visual acuity of the space user is also a variable that needs consideration. Luminaire technology is available today to address these deliverables but typically by using more energy. The opposite side of this argument is the requirement for buildings to work towards and achieve net Zero Carbon by 2050. Energy legislation trumps lighting quality standards and both subjects are equally important, so some lateral thinking is needed to balance the design outcome. This presentation explores the latest version of BS EN 12464-1, the key changes and some suggestions to support NZC outcomes.
23rd February 2022
Join us on Wednesday 23rd for the second AUE 2021 Virtual CPD & KNOWLEDGE Series in February focusing on Fundamentals and Common Issues in BACnet based Building Automation System. The event platform will be open from 10:30 giving you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with the platform and network with AUE colleagues ahead of the session at 11:00-12:00. Afterwards you'll be able to network further using the networking carousel.
Speakers:
Ping Yao, CEO of Optigo Networks and Chris Goodman, Senior BMS Technician of Coventry University
Session synopsis:
BACnet Building Automation Systems (BAS) are growing in importance and complexity. Unfortunately, BAS are often incorrectly configured or underperforming. Such problems can lead to loss in energy savings, incorrect reporting and premature failures. This webinar will start with an overview of three (3) fundamental topics: BACnet routes, BBMD's and Denial-of-Service. After these fundamental topics, the presenters will discuss common issues in BACnet BAS systems, and how these can be identified and fixed using Optigo's Visual BACnet software product. There will be opportunities for audience questions and comments. Throughout the presentation, AUE member Chris Goodman, will assist with real-world examples as see at Coventry University.
