PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS LIGHTING CONTROL FOR DUMMIES Controls are supposed to make your life simple. So why are they so complicated? Controls guru Sam Woodward of Lutron answers all the stupid questions you were too afraid to ask. RETROFIT CONTROLS IN AN AGEING ESTATE How do you get new controls on old buildings?

John Hindley of Manchester Metropolitan University shares his experience of major lighting control projects
technologies, so you can decide what you need and what you don’t. We’ll look at exemplar projects such as Manchester Metropolitan University – the problems encountered, how they were overcome and what was achieved. And our panels will debate the hot topics in the world of controls right now, including the future of Dali, and the internet of things. We’ll get a glimpse into the future with exclusive briefings on the very latest controls technologies, including Li-Fi, indoor positioning and where lighting fits into the ‘internet of things’.

CONTROLS FOR ALL BUDGETS The choice doesn’t have to be between a sophisticated all-singing all-dancing system and a humble light switch. In between, there’s a whole range of control options to suit all budgets. Jeremy Turner of Fab Controls gives his independent view. CASE STUDY MANCHESTER METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY John Hindley of Manchester Metropolitan University explains how lighting controls fit into the university’s environmental strategy. Drawing on his experience managing the newly built Birley Fields Campus and various retrofit projects, John will show the benefits that lighting controls can bring to a large, complex estate.
