About us

We are the Omaha based section of the Illuminating Engineering Society, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to all aspects of the ART and SCIENCE of ILLUMINATION. The IES is the recognized technical authority on illumination. For over a century its objective has been to communicate information on all aspects of good lighting practice to its members, to the lighting community, and to consumers through a variety of programs, publications and services. The strength of the IES is its diversified membership consisting of: engineers, architects, designers, educators, students, contractors, distributors, utility personnel, manufacturers, and scientists, all contributing to the mission of the society: to advance knowledge and disseminate information of the improvement of the lighted environment to the benefit of society. The IES is a forum for the exchange of ideas and information and a vehicle for its members professional development and recognition. Through its committees, with hundreds of qualified members from the lighting and user communities, the IES correlates research, investigations, and discussions to guide lighting experts and laypersons via consensus-based lighting recommendations.

  • Project Spotlight: FNBO Coffeeshop by Alvine Engineering with RDG Planning & Design The refurbishment of the FNBO tower encompassed a comprehensive redesign of the grab-and-go bar and coffee shop. The updated lighting establishes a contemporary and welcoming atmosphere. Close collaboration was necessary to ensure that the lighting highlights the architectural features while also delivering practical solutions. The track lighting offers adjustable illumination for the baristas, while the gold arch and tile details are enhanced by a flexible LED cove. Custom sconces contribute to the overall aesthetic of the shop while guiding customers to the ordering and pickup zones. 📸 AJ Brown Imaging Submissions close September 13th!

  • Project Spotlight: Elder Theatre Renovation by HDR, Riley Johnson, PE, LC The Elder Theatre Renovation is a tale of transformation where light becomes an immersive feature defining the space. The design enhances both theatre students' and the audience's experience, transforming a 1980s building into a contemporary venue. The existing open truss ceiling was clad in drywall to reduce visual noise and conceal conduit and piping. The resulting coffered ceiling is punctuated by pattern of pendants, emphasizing the geometry. Lighting is integrated into the acoustic wall panels to accent the clean, bright space that sets the stage for the life and color within the theatre. 📸 Dan Schwalm We want to feature your projects!

  • Project Spotlight: BancFirst Tower by Alvine Engineering with Bockus Payne BancFirst Tower in Oklahoma City was seeking to break the mold in exterior brand expression by creating an inviting yet sophisticated ambiance. The “crown” jewel of the exterior architectural lighting features rows of linear RGBA LED fixtures, utilizing DMX controls, which allow the building owner to complement and replicate Oklahoma’s famous sunsets in a way RGB or RGBW fixtures could not. The crown lighting controls are also tied into the RGBA fixtures that illuminate the glass structures at the entrances to the concourse level below, beckoning to passersby. 📸 Justin Myers Photography We want to feature your projects!

  • Project Spotlight: Duchesne Academy Chapel Renovation by Alvine Engineering with BVH Architecture Rooted in over 100 years of tradition, the Duchesne Academy underwent a much-needed transformation of its chapel. The chapel previously suffered from low light levels in the pews and at the altar, making it ineffective during evening services. Existing decorative pendants were fitted with LED A-lamps, and small aperture downlights were added to the high ceiling, helping achieve better light levels in the pews while respecting the chapel’s aesthetic. Track lighting was concealed at the altar to bring prominence to the tabernacle and provide better illumination for clergy and congregation. 📸 Tom Kessler with Kessler Photography https://lnkd.in/g8cCRRXf We want to feature your projects!
