Welcome/Introductory Remarks
Ecological Considerations
Creating sustainable luminous environments demands a thorough understanding of lighting’s impacts on both human well-being and our broader ecosystems. This panel will bring together a diverse group of practitioners, researchers, and lighting manufacturers to advance the dialogue on how the lighting industry can significantly reduce its negative ecological impacts. Moving beyond solely a discourse on energy use, we will explore current research and practices that highlight opportunities to reduce embodied carbon in luminaires and mitigate the impacts of anthropogenic light at night. This session is a platform for deepening the understanding of current sustainable lighting practices and the lighting industry’s vital role in environmental stewardship.

Design for Resiliency
The improved efficiency and robustness of LED lighting enables greater resiliency in lighting systems. This session will explore the latest thinking on design for resiliency in lighting. Reduced power consumption means there is reduced reliance on power sources and greater potential for local renewable energy or battery power. As a critical service, the resiliency of lighting systems should be considered as part of the lighting design, selection, and installation process. Considerations of resiliency include mechanical and electrical resiliency, usability, and reliability in the face of extreme weather and other events impacting grid service.

L-Prize Innovation
The DOE L-Prize competition is designed to spur ground-breaking innovation for next-generation lighting in commercial buildings. DOE deliberately set the bar high with ambitious innovation goals for efficiency, sustainability, connectivity, and more. Six winning prototypes demonstrated extraordinary performance and capabilities, and this session will gather these leading-edge innovators to explore what they see as the biggest remaining challenges, and what this prize teaches us about future research needs.

Topic Tables |
This is your opportunity to provide input to IES and DOE! Registered attendees will select a single research topic from the provided list for small-group discussion. Each group will examine why this topic is important and what the technical challenges are. Some “questions to consider” will be provided for each topic to help spur the discussion. The inputs from each group will be used to guide planning for future DOE and IES research activities as well as IES technical committees.

Light and Health: Translating Research into Recommendations
For more than two decades, the academic research community has been investigating the impact of light on human health, wellbeing, and ocular biology. While this remains an active area of research, new recommendations for indoor light exposure have emerged, considering the sensitivity of the human circadian, neuroendocrine, and alerting responses to light. This session provides the latest thinking from researchers on the impact of light on human wellbeing and eye health as well as the science that has led to new recommendations. How can findings under laboratory conditions be extrapolated to real-world environments?

Next-Generation Lighting Tools
As the lighting industry evolves, so do our tools. Artificial intelligence is impacting design and is poised to be integrated into industry practice and processes. This session will address new products and software that are being adapted to meet new market expectations. The internet, electronics, and telecom industries are converging with the lighting industry, with the intent of adding lighting to their offerings. Trends including decarbonization, lighting for health, and a circular economy are triggering new standards that provide guidance and guiderails for lighting professionals. Join knowledgeable experts for a discussion of the next generation of tools available and needed for architectural lighting to meet current and future demands.

Novel Methods for Post-Occupancy Evaluations
Post-occupancy evaluations are somewhat common practice for measuring the success of a lighting project, testing a design hypothesis, or identifying lessons learned for future designers. Historically, these evaluations have linked relatively static estimates of lighting quantities to occupant feedback collected from surveys or interviews; however, new technology has enabled more sophisticated assessments of increasingly capable daylighting and electric lighting systems. This session will highlight novel methods for characterizing occupant light exposure and discuss how these methods can deepen our understanding of the relationship between lighting conditions in real-world applications and occupant outcomes.
