ArchLIGHT Summit

Lighting controls have undergone numerous evolutions over the past 30 years, from the OG relay panel to early stand-alone occupancy and daylighting sensors, to wired proprietary control networks. Today, we stand at the precipice of a paradigm change with wireless mesh technology. Not only does this technology provide control capabilities previously impossible, it also changes the marketplace landscape through an open systems approach to hardware, greatly reduced reliance on services and interoperable solutions.

This town hall, roundtable style will explore the benefits and capabilities of wireless mesh technology at a level accessible to both business decisionmakers and control experts. Attendees are active participants in this conversation, with spirited discussion of challenges, concerns, real-world outcomes and takeaways to infuse their future work.

Green walls are not only the trend in interior design but also contribute to greater well-being and a better indoor climate. With their positive effect on the indoor climate and quality of stay, they are seen as a building block towards user-oriented sustainable interior design. Discover through this course how you as an architect, interior designer or lighting designer can design optimum lighting for green walls, which steps you should pay attention to in your lighting design and which luminaires and light sources are particularly suitable.

This course provides an in-depth exploration of evidence-based design (EBD) and its pivotal role in shaping healthcare environments to enhance patient care, contribute to caregiver effectiveness, and foster overall well-being. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how EBD principles can be applied to create spaces that are informed by empirical research and best practices. ​

​Attendees will learn about the latest research findings that support the integration of design elements with clinical outcomes. Topics covered will include the impact of physical environment on patient recovery, staff efficiency, and overall healthcare delivery

Designing with light involves much more than understanding applications and footcandles. This seminar explores the many ways designers think about light as a design medium, describe light to themselves and others, and use light to create engaging environments. It explains how designers use qualities of light, light interacting with architecture and interior design, and lighting concepts. A book signing will follow this one-hour session.
