The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES, www.ies.org) is looking for volunteer committee participation from the HFES community. If you have interest and experience in practice or research concerning the relationship between light and human factors and/or ergonomics, the IES invites you to join by contacting standards@ies.org.

There are three committees seeking your expertise. The first is the Vision Science committee, which would benefit from expertise in assessing lighting’s impacts on human factors and/or ergonomics. The second committee is a Lighting Economics committee, newly formed to determine if there are methods available to place economic costs/benefits on bad/good lighting on such issues as absenteeism, error rates, or productivity in the workplace. Finally, there are a group of 20 Applications committees (examples include offices, industrial buildings, sports applications, and health-care facilities). IES committees normally meet monthly via teleconference.

The IES Mission Statement is simple: “The IES seeks to improve the lighted environment by bringing together those with lighting knowledge and by translating that knowledge into actions that benefit the public.” We are eager to collaborate with HFES members to gain your valuable insights for the public benefit.
