Thank you so much to Illuminating Engineering Society's LD+A Magazine for sharing my thoughts on spurring big effects in #sustainability by making small changes. Read the full article here (p.14) https://lnkd.in/e56iCTMf While the lighting industry may be behind many other building construction industries in its adoption of life cycle assessment (#LCA) methodologies, we’re actually coming out ahead of the curve in relation to other electrical products. Let’s step up our game as an industry and #lead the way. As the lighting industry continues to set new goals to reduce climate change impacts and to promote social equity and justice in manufacturing and in the supply chain, we must continue to consider holistic approaches and ensure that we’re gathering consistent and comparable high-quality data for decision-making. When designing or specifying a material, product, or project, circular approaches must be used and sustainability (including #environmental, #social, #economic, and #equity and #justice #impacts) must be kept at the forefront. #circulareconomy #circular #economy #designfordisassembly #DfD #lighting #lightingdesign #luminaire #lightingsystems #materialhealth #health #productdesign #sustainability #sustainable #sustainableproducts #sustainabledesign #modularity #framework #product #productdesign #climate #climatechange #energyequity #energyjustice #justice #lifecycleassessment
