Lab Design News Facilities Management Webinar Series
11:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Karen Murphy, HDR's lighting director, will be speaking on an informative webinar from Lab Design News at 2 p.m. EST titled Lighting the Lab: Enhancing Visual Comfort and Performance Through Advanced Lighting Design.
Visual performance is intrinsically linked to effective lighting design. Architects and lab planners often focus on optimizing laboratory performance, however, the quality of lighting within the space is frequently overlooked.
This webinar will address this gap by identifying aspects of the laboratory environment that must be considered when designing and maintaining lighting systems. Factors and metrics associated with both visual comfort and performance will be assessed, diving into colour science and exploring new colour metrics. Additionally, the physiological impacts of light will be explored, including both germicidal ultraviolet and circadian supportive solutions.
Environmental factors and maintenance concerns that influence luminaire and lighting control system attributes and specifications will also be reviewed.
At the end, attendees will understand the key conversations required with lighting professionals and will be able to identify what updates are necessary for their facility standards and maintenance protocols.
This course is approved by AIA CES for 1 LU.
