The Sustainable Lighting Design project: a holistic approach for a healthier and more sustainable future
Manage episode 375305300 series 2774438
In this episode, Maha and Isabel give a summary about the outcomes and main findings of the “Sustainable Lighting Design” project and review the reasons that led them to start the project.
The project, funded by Bertil & Britt Svenssons Stiftelse, aimed to deep dive into the different factors that would contribute towards having healthy living environments with minimal environmental impact from the interdisciplinary perspective of a lighting designer and a daylight and environmental design specialist. By focusing on four main key areas; energy efficiency, health and well-being, light pollution, and circularity, all of which are important to consider during the building’s design process, the project has produced and compiled the information using different formats useful for architects, engineers, specialists, and other project stakeholders.
In this episode Isabel and Maha look back at the inspirations and challenges along their journey, from the very beginning of the project, through the podcast and up to the publication of the book. They also talk about the project continuation, their future plans and share how the project has been perceived by the public.
The full outcome of the project has been published in a book format and is available for free online on the project’s website.
This podcast is part of a research-in-practice project on sustainable lighting design by Maha Shalaby & Isabel Villar.
