IPWEA has been overwhelmed by industry’s response to the imminent release of the two new Model Specifications for LED lighting and controls.
We utilised a software service provider which has an upper limit of 100 log-ons, and we reached that number for each webinar last week.
We have received many requests for another live webinar on each specification and as a consequence we are taking a waiting list. If you have missed out and would like to participate in another live webinar, just email your expression of interest to admin@ipwea.org and we’ll let know if we get enough numbers for a second live series.
The webinars on 20th and 27th July will be recorded and these will be available to view at your convenience on the SLSC portal (
www.slsc.org.au /
www.slsc.org.nz).
There is no doubt that these two industry Model Specifications will be ‘game changers.’
The significant amount of industry consultation and substantial input from Australia, New Zealand and internationally has ensured that these model specs represent the absolute latest in contemporary industry leadership for LED lighting and controls tendering anywhere in the world. This is not hyperbole, as we have recently received a request from the EU asking permission to trial the AU/NZ Model Specifications on projects in Europe.
Underpinning the model specifications is IPWEA’s mantra to provide certainty, consistency, cost effectiveness, rigour and best practice leadership for the industry. We could not have achieved these goals without the support of the Australia Government Department of Environment and Energy and the peak industry partners of ENA (Energy Networks Australia), LCA (Lighting Council of Australia) and ALGA (Australian Local Government Association).
A select number of local governments which are SLSC TAG members are already using the model specifications as in-filed trials for us. We would also like to thank the many councils that have deliberately held back their LED tenders pending release and adoption of the model specifications.
