A substantial revision of IES LP-10: Lighting Practice: Sustainable Lighting – An Introduction to the Environmental Impacts of Lighting, provides designers with specific approaches to practice sustainable lighting design. Additionally, it includes new technical content for manufacturers to incorporate life-cycle analysis and material transparency processes into their product lines.
ANSI/IES RP-8-25: Recommended Practice: Lighting Roadway and Parking Facilities has been updated. This revised lighting standard introduces innovative design methods and updated technology. Its expanded guidance includes lighting recommendations for EV charging stations, bicycle lanes, and obtrusive light mitigation.
BSR/IES RP-43: Recommended Practice: Lighting Exterior Applications has been updated. It also merges with the contents from ANSI/IES LP-2-20: Designing Quality Lighting for People in Outdoor Environments and ANSI/IES LP-11-20: Environmental Considerations for Outdoor Lighting, forming a cohesive package. This revised and expanded standard includes an updated lighting zone classification summary.
ANSI/IES TM-39-25: Technical Memorandum: Quantification and Specification of Visual Responses to Temporal Light Modulation (A.K.A. Flicker) has been published. This new technical memorandum catalogs currently documented metrics and specification criteria related to the human perception of periodic TLM and summarizes existing research. It identifies a path toward an IES standard method for quantifying and specifying flicker for architectural lighting general illumination.
