Mr. James Benya is a recognized expert and significant contributor to the advancement of the field of lighting. Among
Jim's professional qualifications, he is a member of the IESNA Energy Management Committee and a former member of the ASHRAE 90.1 Committee. Also, Jim is a member of the Lightfair Management Committee, and he was previously a member of the
IESNA Board of Directors serving as both Director of Education and
Director of External Affairs. Jim is a professional member of IALD. Jim also serves on the Board of the
International Dark Sky Association, the Board and Test Committee for
the NCQLP, and the California Energy Commission Advanced Lighting
Advisory Group (ALAC) where he provides technical research and writing
for California's Title 24 Energy Code for Lighting. As one
of the few Lighting Designers involved in the group that guides the
process of Title 24, he will relate
his experience of trying to defend good lighting design practices,
while working within this very complex framework of politics,
engineering and lobbying. The topic for evening talk, therefore,
should be quite lively.
