From the time of its founding in 1989, IES-Montréal has enjoyed the sponsorship of a number of companies such as Stanpro. IES-Montréal is affiliated to the IESNA, a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote lighting expertise, advance the skills of its key stakeholders, and improve our lighting environment by articulating recommendation processes. The IESNA strives to ensure that Quebecers reap the benefits of an enhanced lighting environment through the dissemination of acquired scientific knowledge.
