SUGAR LAND, TX — (Marketwired) — 08/26/13 — Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas) — As building owners and developers become increasingly aware of the need to save power and provide comfortable and pleasant work and living environments for their tenants, much more thought is being given to lighting control systems.
Innovative lighting systems not only provide stylish ways to present lighting, but also can reduce power consumption, helping the environment and customers– pocketbooks.
In New York State, the NECA-IBEW team has established a program to train electrical apprentices and journeymen in the installation of these systems, thanks in part to a grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). The program is being implemented at the NECA/IBEW Joint Apprenticeship and Training Centers in the state, providing some of the best training available for installation of these cutting-edge systems.
Scott Kessler, project manager at NYSERDA, says, “We will work to develop a workforce so that there–s electricians out there who actually know about these technologies, they can install them properly and can eventually down the road put them down in the code.”
