Illuminating the Latest Lighting Guidance
The 12th Annual Conference and Exhibition
Thursday June 19th 2008
Jury's Gt. Russell Street Hotel, London
In December 2007 the CSS announced a far-reaching series of street lighting research projects, designed to serve as a significant step in the development of guidance and best practice for both the lighting industry and local authorities, building on the 'Invest to Save' guidance issued in 2006.
The 12th annual surveyor and ILE conference, will present for the first time, the results and recommendations of these nationally coordinated reviews, and will enable you to
- Determine the most appropriate level of lighting for different situations, taking into account road safety, crime prevention, environmental and energy considerations.
- Prepare bids for funding to improve the efficiency of lighting systems and reduce energy costs.
- Ensure lighting systems are working as efficiently as possible whilst minimising energy use.
- Consider modifications that may be required for local roads to the current Highways Agency guidance regarding the provision of passively safe lighting and sign installations.
- Establish whether recommendations can be made for less signs and bollards to be lit, particularly on difficult to maintain refuges.
The projects have been initiated and coordinated in order to address the most pressing issues facing local authorities and involve participation from a number of key organisations:
- CSS
- Institution of Lighting Engineers
- Transport for London
- SCOTS (Society of Chief Officers in Transportation for Scotland)
- Transport Scotland
- Highways Agency
- In addition, major firms in the lighting industry who have provided practical support.
Reports will also be presented on research being undertaken by the Department for Transport into the impact of lighting on night time road casualties and commuted sums.
This is your opportunity to hear the latest innovations, recommendations and best practise on the issues driving the provision of local authority lighting and policy development, whilst assessing energy saving initiatives and establishing lighting levels appropriate for different street types and locations.
