The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), is an industry-backed, not-for-profit, learned society that was founded in New York City on January 10, 1906.[1] The IES's stated mission is "to improve the lighted environment by bringing together those with lighting knowledge and by translating that knowledge into actions that benefit the public".[3]

Since 1906, when the IES was legally incorporated, the IES has always been known as the "IES". However, in 1981 the 6th edition IES Lighting Handbook published the phrase, "Illuminating Engineering Society of North America("IESNA"). The "IESNA" moniker persisted until it was removed in 2010 when the 10th Edition of Lighting Handbook was released. The IES is a global organization with sections worldwide and solely related to North America.

The Society is headquartered in New York City. The IES is divided into approximately 100 local sections.[1]

Publications

[edit]

The IES is credited with over 100 publications on the subject of lighting such as The Lighting Handbook: 10th Edition. Other publications, many of which are American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or ASHRAE standards, include recommended practices for a variety of specific lighting applications such as office, sports, and outdoor lighting, and lighting for healthcare facilities.[citation needed] The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) references several IES publications for Optical Radiation Calibrations.[4] The International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) makes several references to the IES and its publications in its Outdoor Lighting Code Handbook.[5]

The Illuminating Engineer could be considered the first journal of the society.[6] One of the founders, E. Leavenworth Elliott, had begun publishing it late in 1905—just prior to the founding.[6] He described it as "a technical journal devoted to the use of artificial light".[6]

The society's present-day journal, LEUKOS (originally the Journal of the Illuminating Engineering Society from 1971 to 2004[7]) is published by Taylor & Francis with four issues per year.[8]

LD+A (from Lighting, Design + Application) is the IES's monthly magazine.[9] It is free to members.[9]

Illumination Awards

[edit]

Annually since 1973, the IES Illumination Awards program has recognized individual engineers and lighting designers for meritorious original design in a nominated project.[10] While local sections may offer their own awards, there are five international award categories:[11][12][13]

  • The Edwin F. Guth Memorial Award for Interior Lighting Design
  • The Outdoor Lighting Design Award sponsored by Eaton's Cooper Lighting Business, formerly the Paul Waterbury Award for Outdoor Lighting Design
