			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As with any major industry there exists some form of accreditation that allows an individual to strengthen his/her knowledge within their field. This knowledge provides an opportunity to maintain training on advancements and changes within a specified industry. Within the lighting trade the certification is respectively known as – Lighting Certified (LC).</p>
<p>As mentioned on the NCQLP website, “Lighting is the single most important element in the visual environment. Effective lighting improves productivity and strengthens security.”</p>
<p>Effective designed lighting systems are crucial to reducing energy and maintenance costs. Over the past 100 years, there have been rapid improvements in lighting systems and equipment. As the lighting industry has grown, a number of efforts have been undertaken to differentiate the knowledgeable and qualified lighting practitioner. As a result, a need was recognized for an independent, industry-wide endorsement effort. The NCQLP developed their program to address multiple issues that include: safety, health, productivity, energy conservation and effectiveness, environmental concerns, governmental policy, lighting technology, and competent, knowledgeable lighting practice.</p>
<p>The NCQLP, a non-profit organization founded in 1991 developed their principles to serve and protect the well-being of the public through effective and efficient lighting practice. Through a peer-review process, the NCQLP establishes the education, experience and examination requirements for baseline certification across the lighting professions. <strong></strong></p>
<p>Qualifications for meeting LC certification require a minimum of six years experience in the lighting industry or a Bachelors degree from an accredited college/university and three years experience in a lighting related field. The LC credential is a multi-disciplinary qualification based on a statistically valid, peer-developed examination that tests the knowledge in the following areas:</p>
<ul>
<li>Survey / Audit- Existing</li>
<li>Lighting Design</li>
<li>Financial Analysis</li>
<li>Installation &amp; Commissioning</li>
<li>Operations &amp; Maintenance</li>
<li>Regulatory Compliance</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://envirobrite.net" target="_blank">Envirobrite</a> is excited to announce the recent achievements of three of our employees to Lighting Certified accreditation &#8211; <a href="http://envirobrite.net/who-we-are/" target="_blank">Mike Brennan</a>, <a href="http://envirobrite.net/who-we-are/" target="_blank">Jason Plourde</a> and <a href="http://envirobrite.net/who-we-are/" target="_blank">Josh Bond</a>. These three individuals have over 38 years of combined lighting experience.<em> </em></p>
