Completing LEED NC V2009 Project Specific Design Templates – EAp2, EAc1, IEQc8.1 and IEQc8.2

Pioneers in the application of LEED in this region, will work with the Workshop participants to take them through a LEED Project from Concept to Completion, as pertaining to the Architecture, Daylight and energy saving topics of the LEED for New Construction & Major Renovations Version 2009. This will include;

• Goal Setting
• Applicable Technologies
• Applicable Calculations
• Completion of the LEED Templates for submission to the USGBC.

The completion of the workshop will provide the participants with the knowledge and confidence of addressing the credits related to architecture, daylight and energy saving potentials of the LEED NC Version 2009.

Technology to produce Light Emitting Diodes (LED)
Introduction to deposition systems including:

• Compound semiconductors: electronics, laser, LED, solar cells
• Organic semiconductors: OLEDs and plastic electronics
• Silicon semiconductors and silicon applications
• Nanotechnolgy

LED Lighting: is LED technology ready for lighting application in the Middle East region?

An examination of outdoor LED lighting application demonstrating the technology and the basis of an actual tunnel lighting project that will be installed in the U.A.E. before the end of 2009. This is the first LED tunnel lighting project to be undertaken in the Middle East region and shows substantial energy saving characteristics, lower installation and running costs, where there is little or NO maintenance compared to traditionally used tunnel lighting systems. Return on investment is also examined to demonstrate the attractive pay back involved. The system has a massive impact on the environment due to the nature of the energy saving involved and the elimination of re-lamping, negating the recently highlighted problems of the recycling of traditional lamps containing mercury and other heavy chemicals, addressing land fill pollution issues. Other applications, such as street and area lighting along with its use in conjunction with solar energy, will also be examined.

An overview of LED lighting technology and its application will be addressed, particularly for the Middle East region, and how to best create a total systems approach for LED lighting solutions.

The completion of the workshop will provide participants with the knowledge of characteristics and application of intelligent LED lighting solutions in extreme climates.
