IEEE I&CPS Color Book Update

The Illumination Engineering Society (IES) is one of the first names in non-profit trade associations whose consensus documents are heavily referenced in the specifications of building construction projects for the US education industry.

We are following developments in a few technical committees put together by the IES who set the standard of care for illumination technologies by coordinating our understanding of the scopes and purposes of other consensus documents developed by:

• The Association of Electrical Equipment and Medical Imaging Manufacturers
• Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers
• American Society of Heating and Refrigeration Engineers
• NFPA International
• International Electrotechnical Commission
• International Commission on Illumination

There are a number of other trade associations that are participants in research and open source standards for faster moving parts of the illumination science.  We will cover these in future posts.

For the moment IES has released an addendum to Section 4.2.2.3 Compact Fluorescent Lamps) for public review:
