Society backs EMILAS Awards
The Society is supporting the LIF's Energy Management and Innovation in Lighting Award Scheme (EMILAS 2010) for refurbishment projects.
Introduced last year as a pilot, the awards have now been launched as a full scheme, open to all those associated with the lighting industry including manufacturers, lighting designers, architects and installation contractors.
The award scheme aims to promote energy efficient lighting schemes and speed up investment in the refurbishment of existing, less-efficient installations. Further objectives are communicating the importance of good lighting in design, and encouraging innovative energy efficient products. There are six categories: indoor workplaces, outdoor workplaces, sports lighting, road and amenity lighting, building (facade) floodlighting, and lighting in machinery.
The awards are judged by a panel of lighting professionals drawn from the various lighting disciplines (including SLL members). Among the judging criteria will be CO2 savings of a new installation over an original scheme; design (compliance with the relevant standard and also Part L) and calculated payback period based on current energy costs. The awards will be presented at a special lunch in November at Church House in Westminster in conjunction with a seminar programme and exhibition.
Final date for entries is 31 August 2010. More details from http://www.lif.co.uk/
