Lighting standards and recommendations vary dramatically across different work environments. These standards offer methods of maximizing lighting effectiveness for the functions and demands of the specific workplace setting through optimized initial design principles as well as guidelines for system upgrades. For example, hospital lighting standards purport to augment patient comfort and foster recovery by creating a uniquely pleasant environment, museum lighting standards take into consideration the fragility of exposed artwork and emphasize damage prevention, while standards for educational facilities aim to accommodate the interchange of instructional media and heighten illumination for realization of visual tasks.
The objective of this document is to provide context, define challenges, and identify recommended lighting design practices for healthcare-specific environments. This document is not prescriptive but is intended to provide guidance and to inspire by identifying possibilities that enable designers to develop the appropriate solutions for complex situations and spaces.
This Recommended Practice was developed to enable architects, engineers, lighting designers, and other lighting decision makers to ensure that their lighting criteria are consistent with good current practice; to assist school and university staff in understanding the importance of the role that lighting plays in educational environments; and to facilitate conversations about lighting between school and university staff, architects, engineers, lighting designers and other designers. It addresses all levels of education, from preschool to university facilities.
ERRATA only.
