  • A Model for Outdoor Lighting Ordinances
  • ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING Magazine (6/1/2007)
  • COMMUNITIES AND STATES ARE INCREASINGLY RECOGNIZING THE BENEFITS OF establishing some regulation for outdoor lighting. The move may be prompted by citizen complaints about poorly designed installations, a desire to save energy, or an awareness of losing sight of the night sky. Exterior lighting regulation is also finding its way into many energy codes and regulations such as California's Title 24 and ASHRAE's 90.1-2004. Even the United States Green Building Council's (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system has a credit for reducing light pollution.

  • Green Light
  • REMODELING Magazine (3/14/2007)
  • Jonathan Katar of Sage Builders in Newton, Mass., agrees that now is the time for reform, whether required by law or not. But he thinks the emphasis should be on the building science of green remodeling--for example, insulation, on-demand heating and cooling systems, and water-saving plumbing. The materials of green building--such as using low-VOC paint and FSC-certified lumber--should be secondary.

  • Dark Sky Compliant Fixtures
  • ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING Magazine (1/31/2007)
  • Due to the increased awareness of both the general public and the design community regarding light trespass and Dark Sky issues, coupled with lighting code requirements, which prescribe the quantity and directionality of light emitted by outdoor luminaries, there has been the need for a system to aid lighting designers, architects, and manufacturers in the creation and selection of appropriate "Dark Sky compliant" light fixtures according to a standard set of protocols. Developed by the International Dark Sky Association (IDA), the Fixture Seal of Approval Program is one such available tool.
