IES TPA - MARCH MEETING - LIGHTING THAT ATTRACTS

DESCRIPTION

This 1-hour HSW learning unit explores the visual

and psychological connections between architectural

lighting and human preference. Although most

occupants of a space don’t understand why they

prefer one space over another with differing lighting

designs, this program outlines specific factors to

consider for improving the emotional connection

within an interior space. Proper application of

lighting placement, distribution, brightness ratios,

acoustic materials, and LED color spectrum can

result in aesthetics and physical comfort that exceed

occupant expectations. Applying best practices with

these design factors can enable gains in retail and

hospitality patronage as well as improve employee

wellness and retention in working environments.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

▪ Understand how lighting elements impact

occupant preference by satisfying their

psychological and emotional expectations

▪ Describe how lighting placement and

distribution impact psychological and

emotional response

▪ Identify lighting factors to consider for

designing comfortable visual and hearing

environments

▪ List LED system considerations that improve

space aesthetics, occupant well-being, and

space functionality
