Welcome to NEMA Academy!

This learning module describes the technology and application of occupancy and vacancy sensors, devices that detect when a space is unoccupied and accordingly automatically turn OFF (or dim) the lights, thereby saving energy. Read more

This learning module describes common panel-based lighting control systems. Read more

This learning module describes popular dimming strategies and how different light sources behave when dimmed. Read more

This learning module describes dimming controls and systems, starting with simple wallbox dimmers and working up to more complex systems. Read more

This learning module provides knowledge participants can use to determine comprehensive and accurate written owner project requirements related to lighting and controls. Read more

This learning module provides an understanding of the conceptual design phase for lighting control systems. Participants will learn about the importance of a written lighting controls narrative, including suggested formats and examples. At the end of the course, participants will be able to use the written lighting control narrative effectively as a roadmap to the control system usable by all project participants. Read more
