Online now! deLIGHTed talks 9th edition: Good Light - Creating Healthy Indoor Spaces

With insights from IALD, WELL, DLA, and leading researchers, this webinar explores daylight-like conditions indoors and their impact on health, design, and circadian well-being.

With an increasing evidence base that properties of daylight can positively affect people’s health and well-being, time has come to address the challenge of daylight-like conditions indoors. At present, many people spend time in spaces lit with electric lighting – at work places and in classrooms. How to design the built environment with appropriate light exposure in mind is the topic of a recent white paper by the the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD).

During this webinar their findings will be presented and commented and contextualized by researchers and practitioners selected by the Daylight Academy, the International WELL Building Institute and the Society of Light, Rhythms and Circadian Health.
