The June 2023 eBook, authored by Karen Murphy, David Repair, Scott Garrett, Bianca Jimenez, Rick Baca, and released by Lutron, was published by Consulting & Specifying Engineer. This comprehensive book encompasses a range of articles that delve into diverse lighting technologies, control systems, and the crucial necessity of selecting the right lighting solutions tailored for specific applications. One fundamental approach highlighted in the eBook is the concept of task-ambient design, which forms the bedrock for efficient lighting designs. Task-ambient design methodology initiates by pinpointing the specific tasks to be performed and determining whether these tasks are confined to particular areas within a room or span across the entire space. Often, tasks that demand higher illumination levels are localized to smaller zones within a room rather than encompassing the entire area. Additionally, the eBook delves into topics such as emergency lighting and the utilization of emergency generators, providing comprehensive insights into ensuring continuous illumination during critical situations.
