Mr. James Benya will be returning to our area to pull back
the curtain on the process behind making the Title 24 Standards. Among Jim's professional qualifications, he was previously a member of the IESNA Board of Directors serving as both Director of Education and Director of External Affairs. 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.
