According to Nano-Lit Technologies founder Sarah Morgan, despite the promise of circadian lighting to benefit both patients and staff in healthcare settings, barriers to acceptance remain. Find out what they are, and how the value proposition of circadian lighting can be framed to best effect change starting within the decision-makers' offices: https://lnkd.in/dX_eRC_z #LEDsMagazine #Healthcare #LightingforHealth #CircadianLighting #NanoLitTechnologies #HumanCentricLighting

Current Lighting specialists Alex Price and Gary Steinberg demonstrate how thoughtfully designed lighting schemes can foster a sense of community, encourage social interactions, and boost the local economy by making streets, pedestrian plazas, and parks more inviting after dark. https://bit.ly/3BT2X19 #LEDsMagazine #CurrentLighting #OutdoorLighting #MunicipalLighting #PublicSpaces

The final Manufacturing & Installation phase of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) #LPrize competition is scheduled to run for 22 months and offers a $10 million prize pool, divided between up to four winners based on the number of points awarded by a review panel.

Sean Nacey of Wesco Energy Solutions outlines the scope of design for LED retrofits that - when carefully considered - can help retailers reap great benefits. For one thing, a lighting retrofit can cost 10-20% less than a remodel, he notes. https://bit.ly/3AYfAYa #LEDsMagazine #RetailLighting #LightingRetrofits #LEDLighting

In a new article, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory team members Cary Faulkner and Gabe Arnold explain, "The #ASHRAE Standard 241 and #CDC targets [for indoor clean air] are approximately 1.5–10X higher than conventional ASHRAE Standard 62.1 ventilation targets to which commercial buildings have historically been designed. Existing building HVAC systems may not have capacity to achieve the CDC and ASHRAE targets without major upgrades[...] Further, achieving the targets through HVAC-only approaches could substantially increase building #HVAC energy use and carbon emissions. #GUV technologies, which can be easily installed into existing buildings, might enable buildings to achieve the CDC and ASHRAE targets with much lower energy use."
