The year 2020 delivered new health and safety concerns regarding the spread of infectious disease. These concerns have prompted a call to action that the design community can answer. This presentation will provide an overview of existing lighting technology and how it can help reduce the spread of infectious disease by minimizing touch in shared spaces, support wayfinding and modified circulation patterns, and reduce stress through visual distraction and color temperature adjustments. The presentation will also delve into ultraviolet light, specifically UV-C, a non-visible wavelength of light (radiant energy) effective in killing bacteria and viruses including coronaviruses.
