Presented by:
Charles Knuffke

For the past 25+ years, Charles has worked with engineers, contractors, distributors, and owners to design, specify, and start up Lighting Control Systems for almost every kind of Commercial and Industrial project. The products have run the gamut from simple standalone occupancy sensors to networked Lighting Control Systems for multi-building campuses. After the systems have been installed, Charles has spent thousands of hours working with the facility engineers ensuring that they are educated on their new systems and are using them to their fullest capabilities. Charles is Watt Stopper's Western Regional Vice President, overseeing all sales activity in the Western Coastal states, and managing five dedicated district managers and sales specialists. Before that, he was the company's Western Technical Manager, working extensively on complex projects involving motion detectors, relay panels, daylighting controls, and integration.

Most of all, Charles considers himself an educator, and greatly enjoys presenting to groups interested in Lighting Control technologies as well as those needing to understand the nuances of the various energy codes.

Description:

So you're all ready for the new Title 24 changes?

If not, consider spending an afternoon with us on Saturday, November 9th from 1:00pm-4:00pm. Charles Knuffke with Wattstopper will give his popular Powerpoint presentation on the topic and will pause for questions and panel discussion on each change. Our goal is to encourage questions and extended discussion along with a panel of local designers (to be announced) to explore creative ways to address the changes. This event will be a more in-depth study of the new Title 24 changes than our November 7th Title 24 Overview event.

We will serve hot hors d'oeuvres with coffee and tea.
