Hospitality Lighting: Leading the Way Beyond Calculations
ANSI/IES RP-9 Hospitality Lighting

Presented by Emlyn Altman and Chip Israel

There are many different types of hospitality projects, and effective lighting is consistently an important design tool to enhance the guests’ overall experience.

In this presentation, Emlyn Altman and Chip Israel from the IES Hospitality Lighting Committee guide attendees through the world of illumination as documented in the ANSI/IES RP-9 Practice manual.
