The TALQ Consortium, which developed the Smart City Protocol, a global interface standard for smart city applications, recently added more security to its certification procedures.

The Green Building Initiative (GBI) recently announced two new certification programs: Green Globes Net Zero Energy (NZE) and Green Globes Net Zero Carbon (NZC).

The DALI Alliance has extended the DALI-2 certification program to include firmware updates via the DALI interface in devices including control gear, application controllers and input devices such as sensors. Firmware updates are specified in Part 105 of the IEC 62386 standard.

ASHRAE Standard 228 sets requirements for evaluating whether a building or group of buildings meets a definition of “zero net energy” or a definition of “zero net carbon” during building operation.

In this episode of The Lighting Controls Podcast co-produced by the Lighting Controls Association and NAILD, Mitch Hefter, Sr. Systems Engineer – Design & Development for Signify provides a lesson in standards like DALI and DMX along with a refresher on acronyms like ESTA and USITT.

The TALQ Consortium, which developed the Smart City Protocol, a global OpenAPI interface standard for smart city device networks, has published version 2.5.0 of the protocol.

Craig DiLouie, LC, CLCP recently had the opportunity to interview Paul Drosihn, General Manager, DALI Alliance. The topic: the recently introduced D4i global standard.

The Zhaga Consortium is launching the global Zhaga Smart City Sensor Awards to address the needs of cities that have installed Zhaga-D4i certified streetlights.
