The Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES) will publish in early 2011 the 10th edition of the IES Lighting Handbook, the most comprehensive one-volume work on lighting. The Lighting Handbook presents all phases of lighting and integrates the views of IES Committees and individual specialists in each knowledge area. The Lighting Handbook is a widely recognized knowledge reference for anyone involved in lighting.

Since 2000, when the 9th edition was published, a number of changes have been deemed necessary. The major changes in the 10TH edition include:

• New illuminance determination procedure consisting of visual age-based illuminance ranges and mesopic adaptation

• Extensive updates on light sources, including solid state lighting sources

• Holistic and complementary daylighting and electric lighting strategies

• More extensive and specific qualitative lighting design criteria such as subjective impressions (psychological factors) and architectural spatial factors

• Broader quantitative criteria such as illuminance uniformities, power and energy aspects, light trespass, and light pollution

• In-depth coverage of sustainability practices: new coverage on daylighting, controls, sustainability, commissioning and energy management
