SUMMARY:WEBINAR - IPWEA - Energy Efficient Lighting for communities
DESCRIPTION:Smarter Lighting for Safer\, Energy Efficient Communities\nFeaturing Paul Gowans Street Lighting & Smart Controls Programme Manager – IPWEA \nAs Australia’s cities\, towns\, and infrastructure move toward smarter\, more sustainable systems\, street lighting is at the forefront of innovation. But smarter doesn’t just mean connected — it means better for people\, wildlife\, and the planet. \nIn this timely webinar\, Paul Gowan from the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia (IPWEA) will explore how smart lighting technologies can support public safety\, energy efficiency\, and environmental protection — while also helping to reduce light pollution. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nBasic into to smart controls and what they can do\nHow smart controls can be used to substantially reduce the impact of lighting on the night sky and wildlife by permanently trimming excess lighting and dimming (or shutting off) lighting in the middle of the night\nThe status of smart controls in Australia (e.g. regulatory recognition\, take-up\, suppliers) and a brief mention of their widespread adoption overseas.\n\nWhether you’re a council asset manager\, lighting designer\, engineer\, planner or policy-maker\, this session offers valuable insights into how smart lighting can meet community needs and protect natural darkness. \nYour Speaker\nPaul Gowans is a Director of Next Energy Lighting and has three decades managing public lighting networks for UK councils and running a public lighting contractor in the UK. In Australia\, he is best known for his work leading the City of Sydney’s pioneering and highly successful deployment of LEDs (the first large LED deployment in Australia and the first long-term outsourced public lighting contract). Paul sits on two key Standards Australia lighting committees and is the past chairman of the Scottish Region Institution of Lighting Engineers. Paul is a Member of IPWEA and the IESANZ.
