IEA SHC Solar Academy: Webinar on Task 61 - Integrated Solutions for Daylighting and Electric Lighting (1)

Jan de Boer is the Group manager for Lighting Technology and Passive Solar Systems at the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics (IBP) in Stuttgart. He is also a member and coordinator of several standardization commissions and working groups on energy-efficient lighting. From 2013 until 2015 he was an operating agent at IEA-SHC Task 50 "Advanced Lighting Solutions for Retrofitting Buildings".

Since 2018, he is an operating agent at IEA-SHC Task 61 / EBC Annex77 "Integrated Solutions for Daylighting and Electric Lighting".

Presentation Title: Motivation and Introduction to Task 61.

Barbara is Head of Energy & Environment Group at Norwegian University of Science and Technology, she is also a professor at the Department of Architecture and Technology. She is trained as an architect, has 6 years practice from architecture offices and 15 years of experience as a teacher and scientist. Subtask A leader of IEA-SHC Task 61 / EBC Annex 77.

Presentation title: User requirements for lighting environments.

Marc is a Professor at the Danish Building Research Institute (SBI), Aalborg University Copenhagen. Convenor of CEN Standardization group TC 169-WG11 Daylight. He is also active in various innovative programs dealing with developing new lighting techniques, including reduction of energy use, higher human well-being, and developing techniques to facilitate decision-making by groups of stakeholders in the field of construction, design and city planning, with participants sharing VR environments on the internet.

Presentation Title: Technical Solutions for simplified maintenance, improved reliability, user-friendliness in design and application of systems.

David Geisler-Moroder studied at the University of Innsbruck, Austria where he achieved a master and a PhD degree in technical mathematics. Already in his diploma and doctoral thesis he worked on mathematical questions in lighting technology. Since 2010 he has been working as a project manager and head of the competence field daylight in the R&D department of Bartenbach. His main work and research areas include the development of simulation methods, the interface between daylighting and building physics, daylighting systems, and lighting technology principles.

Presentation Title: Design support for practitioners – simulation workflows and daylight system characterization.

Werner is an architect, lighting designer and Professor of Lighting Design Research at the Department of Engineering at Aarhus University in Denmark.  Werner has been involved in daylighting research and design since he first started working with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Windows and Daylighting research group in 1987. Since 1994, he has been a full-time academic in architecture in the USA, New Zealand and Germany, and since 2009 in architectural engineering in Denmark.  He focuses on lighting design, sustainable architecture and building environmental science.

Assistant professor at the Institute of Architecture and the Built Environment, Lund University, Sweden. In the past eight years, Niko has been working in the field of lighting and daylighting, mixing technical and observed-based evaluations. His research focuses on the role of the user in driving energy saving, targeting mainly at the role of lighting controls. Niko participated in the International Energy Agency (IEA) SHC Task 50 and he is currently leading Subtask D of IEA SHC Task 61 / EBC Annex 77 together with Prof Werner Osterhaus.

Presentation Title: Instruments and methods for assessing integrative/circadian lighting systems in health environments and offices.
