This webinar will provide participants with a working understanding of how lighting systems function within agricultural facilities and how to use recent advances in technology and design to improve efficiency and performance.
Participate in this webinar to learn about lighting equipment and systems used in agricultural operations with a focus on:
- system design;
- effects on humans, plants, and animals; and
- energy conservation opportunities.
The design overview will include basic terms, key performance parameters, system components, and the typical process. System impacts will address visibility, growth, and hormone regulation. Energy conservation opportunities will consider common upgrades in terms of efficiency metrics, differing approaches, and economics. The webinar will wrap up with a closer look at the NRCS practice standard Lighting System Improvement (670), adopted in 2013, used to implement lighting system upgrades. Participants will gain skills to work within the mix of NRCS staff, energy analysts, lighting designers, and landowners to more effectively identify and implement energy conservation opportunities.
This webinar is presented by the USDA NRCS East National Technology Support Center.
