Overview
Welcome to another Light for Life® program, Healthcare Environments: Lighting & Controls, a two-day, 10-hour symposium exploring how lighting shapes environments of care. Healthcare facilities exist to save and enhance lives, and every encounter within them—whether as a patient, caregiver, visitor, or resident—carries profound emotional and operational significance. This program offers design practitioners in architecture, interior design, lighting, and engineering a comprehensive look at best practices and emerging innovations. Participants will earn 10 IES CEUs and 10 AIA-HSW credits while engaging with topics including:
- Lighting Industry Trends & New Topics
- Architectural and Interior Design Trends in Healthcare
- Innovation and Design Practice for Healthcare Lighting
- Case Studies in Healthcare Lighting
- Concept Development for Healthcare Spaces
- Light & Health: Physiological and Behavioral Impact
- Controls in Healthcare
- Trauma-Informed Lighting Design Panel
Attendees who join live will also receive supplemental guides, including complimentary copies of:
- ANSI/IES RP-29-22 Recommended Practice: Lighting Hospital and Healthcare Facilities — nearly 140 pages of design advice and recommendations to inspire solutions that support well-being, sustainability, and long-term value.
- ANSI/IES RP-28-20 Recommended Practice: Lighting and the Visual Environment for Older Adults and the Visually Impaired — more than 80 pages of strategies to improve accessibility and visual comfort across diverse spaces and populations.
