Description

Specifying light-based wellness solutions for all living beings requires scientific evidence applied with medically adapted design practice protocols. Solid-state lighting offers many opportunities for evidence based lighting design for a wide range of project types. This program will present the most current circadian research, evolving wellness design practices, and technical updates investigated through the lens of critical review; both pro and con. A number of commonly accepted design interventions associated with LED lighting will be reviewed for ethical and liability considerations including projects focusing on senior populations, school children, and other life forms.
