Lighting to Support Human Health and Wellbeing

Wednesday September 16, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm CDT

Education Station @ ArchLIGHT Summit Show Floor

Unlock the powerful biological potential of light and transform how people feel, function, and sleep in your buildings. This evidence-based course translates cutting-edge light-and-health research directly into your practical workflow, moving beyond aesthetics to show you how light affects the visual, perceptual, and circadian systems. You'll master the cause-and-effect of key design variables (spectrum, timing, duration) on human outcomes like task performance, alertness, and glare control. Critically, you will demystify and learn to apply advanced metrics from standards like WELL and CIE S 026 to achieve targets such as vertical illuminance at the eye, EV/EH ratios and controls. Through real-world case studies, you'll gain the step-by-step strategy for implementing "bright days, dim evenings, dark nights," empowering you to design environments that directly improve occupant sleep, safety, and overall well-being.
