Don’t miss out – Book before 1pm, Monday, 17th November

The new lighting performance standard is here. Are you across it?

The game has changed. The new NZS 20086 – Energy performance of lighting in buildings standard sets a fresh benchmark for how lighting energy performance is measured, designed, and justified in commercial buildings.

📅 18th & 20th November 2025 (Tue & Thur)

⌚ 9.00am – 5:00pm (NZDT)

👉 Register before 1pm, Monday, 17th November   (The next delivery will not be until later in 2026)

If you work in lighting design, engineering or energy management, you need to understand what this means and how to apply it.

Join CEP’s Commercial Building Energy Specialist in Lighting course next week and get the practical knowledge to:

  • Apply LENI (Lighting Energy Numeric Indicator) to quantify lighting energy use with precision.
  • Design and specify adaptive, high-performance lighting systems that meet the new standard.
  • Build robust energy and financial cases that stand up to boardroom and client scrutiny.
  • Understand how New Zealand building codes and council requirements are evolving to align with international best practice.

This live online training, developed for CEP, will be delivered by industry experts Bryan King (Executive Director of Lighting Council NZ) and Godfrey Bridger (Strategic Lighting Partners) and will equip you with the tools and confidence to deliver compliant, efficient and future-ready lighting solutions.

Don’t get caught in the dark — this is essential knowledge for every lighting professional in Aotearoa.
