Who is Saying What and What are the Effects on Architecture, Lighting and Interior Design? (Vancouver)
There is a lot of discussion, grandiloquence, marketing, deception, queries, confusion, debate, disagreement, pronouncements, research, rhetoric, promotion, study, advertising, and questions on light and its effects on human circadian rhythms and human health. It is THE hottest topic in the lighting industry. What is “Circadian Lighting”? Do we know enough to prescribe lighting as “Lighting Doctors”? Is interior lighting ruining our sleep? Have we extended our lighted day past the boundary of good health? What can designers in the lighting field do? In this unique presentation, Tom Butters, IES Director of Education will offer no solid answers. We will take an exploratory trip through who is saying what, and what are the consequences both good and bad of the differing opinions, studies and conclusions. We will ascertain where there is consensus and where there is opposing viewpoints. You will come away with the knowledge and confidence to ask the questions you will need to ask whoever is promoting “Circadian Lighting”.
