Approaches in Lighting Designing for Diversity

by: Axolight

Old assumptions about “best practices” in the design of spaces were not made with everyone in mind. We are now open to renewing the question: What works best, and for whom? In this presentation, we’ll review different elements of light (e.g. intensity, color rendering, CCT) and how groups perceive those elements differently across age, gender, and ethnicity. Using commercial spaces as a guide, we measure the impact of these disparate perceptions on satisfaction and productivity. Finally, we explore how changes in how we produce lighting environments offer new possibilities to design for diverse workforces. Learning Objectives: 1. Analyze the qualitative elements of light and how different demographics respond to them in different ways 2. Understand research showing the impact of lighting on comfort and productivity across age, gender, and ethnicity 3. Discuss how lighting fixtures effect neurodiverse individuals, particularly focusing on glare, flicker, and acoustics 4. Review methods of designing around offering user-selection as one element of designing for diverse workforces
