Winnipeg IESNA Award and the Luminous Environment Research Grants (LERG) General Description The Winnipeg Section of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) has two programs designed to promote student involvement in lighting design and application. They are available at all Post-secondary Institutions in the province. The Winnipeg IESNA Award is a cash award to assist students in their studies. The Luminous Environments Research Grants (LERG) are available to purchase materials for lighting projects. What makes the Award and Grant programs unique is their complete interdisciplinary nature. Projects on lighting and/or colour could be in engineering, the literary theatrical or visual arts, management, environmental urban or interior design, agriculture, or behavioural and biological sciences. A project on how light and colour are described in novels or poetry would be just as welcome as one on attitudes and behaviours related to energy conservation. The impact of product lighting, or how stage lighting affects audience responses would receive equal consideration. Lighting effects on architectural spaces or plant growth are eligible. Workplace productivity, or illumination effects on visual art evaluation could be supported. Lighting aspects of urban safety or wayfinding would receive as much attention as evaluation of textiles or fibre arts. Clearly, the scope is very broad–any aspect of the luminous environment. |
The IES holds regular meetings between the months of September and June. Check these pages frequently for up-to-date program information. |
