Part L 2010 - An LIF course on the lighting requirements08/07/2010  The objective of a course, to be held in Hertfordshire on 16th September 2010, is to understand the contents of the Regulations and the Approved Documents that relate to lighting. All four Approved Documents that cover domestic and non-domestic buildings are examined. Where planning permission is needed buildings will have to achieve an overall energy and carbon emission performance. This is predicted by comparison with a notional building using software specifically designed for the purpose. The required lighting input for this calculation is outlined but it is not expected that lighting designers will be responsible for this calculation (SBEM), as it encompasses all aspects of the building construction and services. However, there are specific lighting design limits that apply to both new and existing buildings. The latter require planning permission not only when there is a change of use, but also when there is a new installation or upgrading of building services. This includes lighting. The course will examine the specific lighting requirements and how these affect the lighting design process and the necessary information to be provided by the lighting designer to his client. In addition, Part L will compared with recommendations by Society of Light and Lighting Code. The trainer is Richard Forster, who is well known throughout the industry with over 30 years experience as a lighting engineer. The course will be at The Premier Inn at South Mimms, Herts on 16th September 2010, will run from 10.30 to 15:30, and will qualify for four hours CPD. Printed copies of the PowerPoint presentation will be provided. Delegates should bring a pocket calculator to assist in the sample tasks during the day. The course, which costs £150 + VAT (£176.25) to LIF Members and £180 + VAT (£211.5) to non LIF Members, will include coffee and tea through the day, and lunch.
