#HOUZZ LIGHTING TRENDS WEBINAR FULL#
Yvonne de Kort is a Full Professor and Chair of Environmental Psychology of Human-Technology Interaction in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).

We hope this may inspire architects and engineers to design for even better daylight access and perhaps even better electric lighting solutions. In my presentation I will review the scientific evidence for the importance of daylight and sunlight indoors for human health and wellbeing, and the different mechanisms through which these effects (may) emerge. Lecture: “Daylight – See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me!“īy Professor Yvonne de Kort, Technical University Eindhoven, The NetherlandsĪbstract: Our technological tools to create indoor electric light are ever advancing, and yet in virtually every context there seems to be nothing better than “the real thing”. She has received several awards for her work including the H.-J.-Helwig-Prize 2014 by the German Lighting Technology Association, the Hans-Peter-Willumeit-Award by the Foundation Committee of the Center of Human-Machine Systems (ZMMS), the Clara-von-Simson-Prize honouring women in science and engineering by the Technical University of Berlin, and the VDI Recognition by the Association of German Engineers. Aicha is currently working at the Department of Lighting Technology at the Technical University of Berlin as Lecturer and at the Vrije Universiteit Brussels as Guest Professor. May 16th, 2023 from 04:00 PM – 05:30 PM (CEST)Īicha Diakite-Kortlever is a researcher and lighting engineer working in the field of daylighting, sustainable urban planning and environmental modelling. This webinar will take place as part of UNESCO’s International Day of Light 2023 event. The webinar explains the need for daylight and how we can use this knowledge in lighting designs. The Good Light Group, together with the Society for Light Treatment and Biological Rhythms (SLTBR), the Daylight Academy (DLA), the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD), and Luger Research (LR), are organizing and presenting the “Mimicking Daylight Indoors – Why, What, How?” lectures.
