Advances in technology have transformed how humans interact with each other and our environments. The coffee shop effect has influenced how we live, work, play, and how we learn. Learning is no longer confined to a lecture hall or classroom. At the same time stringent energy codes drive design decisions. Energy codes are impacting higher-education design and the lighting technology illuminating them. Learn about the increasing complexity of lighting energy codes, advances in lamp and control technology, design strategies to balance an energy efficient lighting system with the best lighting quality, and the value of lighting in the WELL design guide.
