Dear Colleagues,
CIE 2010 will feature the latest achievements in the science and technology of light and lighting and we would like to give you a flavour of what CIE 2010 will be about:

"The CIE System for Visual Performance-Based Mesopic Photometry" will be presented by Dr Teresa Goodman, CIE Vice President Publications, Lead Scientist for Sensory Metrology, NPL (UK), Kevin McKinley, Deputy Secretary-General of the ISO, the International Standardization Organisation, will give an inside view of the strategies in international standardization in terms of energy efficiency, whereas Tran Quoc Khanh, Head of the Laboratory of Lighting Technology at the Technical University of Darmstadt (Germany) will have his lecture on "LEDs & Lighting Quality".
"Health and Safety Implications of New Lighting Technologies" will be the focus of Dr David Sliney's Keynote, President of the American Society for Photobiology.

CIE 2010 will offer a wide range of workshops which will deal among others with the "Non-Visual Effects of Lighting", "Product Quality Issues of Solid State Lighting", "Regional and National Standardization Policies" as well as innovative solutions on streetlighting.

Presented Papers and the Poster Exhibition provide an ample selection of what is being done worldwide to ensure Lighting Quality without sacrificing Energy Efficiency.
You will find the full programme at Vienna2010.cie.co.at. as of Dec. 20, 2009.

Looking forward to meeting you in March in Vienna,

Martina Paul
General Secretary

 

Dear Colleagues,

The CIE, founded in 1913, is the oldest and most respected International Lighting Organisation, which deals with all the different aspects of this subject. It is totally committed to the development of energy efficient lighting technologies and standards but without sacrificing safety, security and other important aspects of lighting quality.This objective can be achieved through the intelligent use of new technologies and a scientific understanding of the varied human needs for different types of lighting in different settings.

* A more efficient use of daylight augmented with the use of more efficient lamps and the latest lighting technology now enable us to save energy without sacrificing good lighting.

* Findings in medical science reveal that light plays important roles in maintaining optimum regulation of biological rhythms and hormones on a daily basis. However, the improper choice of lamps or luminaires (fixtures) and poor lighting design and/ or lighting installation maintenance, can actually have negative consequences for health and also for traffic safety, personal security, work performance and well being.

* Electronic control systems enable us to adapt light levels and timing of artificial lighting to minimize energy consumption depending on the levels of available daylight and occupancy in buildings as well as traffic volumes on roadways.

Good lighting brings safety, security and a better quality of life to all but needs to be related to the supply of the correct amount of light and with good colour rendering, with the minimal use of resources. CIE 2010 will therefore highlight

* Surveys of experimental projects

* Lighting techniques & scenarios

* Integrated approaches in Lighting Design

* Lighting quality criteria

* Future possible lighting schemes

* Methods to compare lighting installations

* Case studies of energy-efficient lighting

* Review of energy-efficient lighting control systems

* Energy efficiency and environmental compatibility

As President of the CIE, and as Conference President, I am proud to present CIE 2010 "Lighting Quality & Energy Efficiency" as a unique forum to get to know the latest developments and results and invite you to join in the effort to enhance lighting quality and reduce energy consumption worldwide.

Looking forward to seeing you in Vienna next year,

Dr Franz Hengstberger
Conference President
