Beyond Illumination:
Smart Lighting in the 2030 Smart Building Environment

By 2030, lighting will move far beyond fixtures and LEDs, becoming an intelligent, adaptive system at the heart of smart buildings. This talk explores how lighting integrates with building ecosystems, driving sustainability, energy optimization, and occupant well-being. From wireless controls and interoperability to AI-driven personalization, lighting is poised to shift from siloed hardware to dynamic, data-rich platforms. We will examine industry challenges, new business models, and the innovations in reshaping design, controls, and circularity. Attendees will gain insights into what it will take for lighting suppliers and building stakeholders to succeed in this rapidly evolving landscape.
