As we begin to understand that light does more than just support vision, "lighting what we want to see" becomes an antiquated philosophy. But how do we light for wellbeing with energy constraints becoming more stringent? This talk will explore what additional design strategies we should strive for in the future, including a powerful visual effect known as color constancy.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn about the physiological effects of light.
- Learn how color constancy can be used in design applications
- Learn how to think about vertical foot-candles in designs
- Learn how to meet criteria for WELL and CS without compromising energy efficiency
