Continuing Education
We offer a variety of continuing education courses developed to deliver expert-level education in accordance with industry standards. All our courses take an interactive, experience-based and participant-centered approach, using full-scale, hands-on demonstrations, and lots of practice. Participants see lighting in action, explore how lighting systems work, and explore the relationship between light and the built environments.

Light + Office
Credit: 1 LU | HSW (AIA | IDCEC)
Current workspace environments continue to adapt to workers' evolving behaviours and expectations in order to meet the wide variety of needs. Thoughtful selection of lighting in the workplace elevates the architectural environment, providing a level of functionality, well-being and visual comfort to space occupants, as well as enhancing the attributes of the architectural design itself.
This presentation is a guide for understanding the considerations when designing for a variety of work environments and establishing the connection between lighting and human
wellness. It gives an overview of key lighting factors in various office environments, and offers practical recommendations and strategies for designing and specifying lighting in workplaces.
Light + Education

Today's classrooms are multifunctional learning spaces designed to inspire. Flexible, comfortable, high performance lighting is critical to complement and support the variety of collaborative and individual-led teaching and learning activities and functions these environments demand.
This presentation is a guide for understanding the considerations when designing for education and establishing the connection between lighting and human wellness in education-oriented environments. It gives an overview of key lighting factors in various spaces in both K-12 and higher educational establishments, and offers practical recommendations and strategies for designing and specifying lighting in educational spaces.
Light + WELL Building

WELL is the leading tool for advancing health and well-being in buildings globally. As stated by The International WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI™), 29,761 projects encompassing over 2.72 billion square feet are applying WELL across 97 countries. (July 2021).
The WELL v2 is the latest version of the WELL Building Standard, a rating system that focuses exclusively on the way that the design and operations of buildings and everything in them—including lighting—can improve our comfort, impact and influence human behaviours, and enhance our health and wellness.
This presentation gives an overview of the lighting requirements in WELL v2 pilot program, focusing on key factors plus practical recommendations and strategies that should be considered when designing and specifying human-centric lighting in commercial spaces.
