The Good, The Bad, and The Illegal
Sustainable Lighting Committee
Status as of March 2005
The Sustainable Lighting Committee (SLC) was formed in the Fall of 2004. It is comprised of the University of Arizona College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (CALA) in collaboration with the local chapters of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America - Southern Arizona Section (IESNA-SA) and the Southern Arizona Section of the International DarkSky Association (SA-IDA).
The SLC has prepared a detailed proposal in order to obtain funds and to proceed with the first phase of the "Evaluation of U of A Campus Light Pollution" project. The project will evaluate current light pollution and its effects on energy usage and public safety on campus and to develop recommendations for solutions and dissemination materials for educational purposes.
The SLC is soliciting partners from various U of A departments, businesses, observatories, and astronomical entities to assist with project input, direction, solutions, and funding opportunities.
