AIA Baltimore’s Health and Wellness Design Committee presents: Lighting Control Design + the Patient/Clinician Experience on Thursday, March 12th from 5:30-7:30pm The event will be held at the Center for Architecture and Design.
5:30 to 6:30pm – Enjoy refreshments and meet with vendors.
6:30 to 7:30pm – Hear from our respected panelists on Lighting Control Design + the Patient/Clinician Experience with audience questions to follow at the end.
Bespoke lighting design and the use of curated lighting controls is an integral part of how patients experience a space and how a clinician functions in a space. The same space needs to allow for visual acuity, patient rest and recovery, and intuitive controls use by the facility and clinician teams. There are now time-tested strategies and emerging innovations in lighting design. Use of daylight harvesting and sensor-based dimming is now commonplace, and lighting strategies akin to nature’s circadian rhythms are backed by evidence-based design research. Ongoing considerations include choosing light fixtures for ease of cleaning to maximize infection control, and a focus on patient and clinician satisfaction. New strategies include lighting controls integration with clinical workflows, and remote controls optimized with AI.
