Lighting Strategies

Course Overview

A variety of strategies is necessary to create classroom lighting that reduces glare, produces uniform and sufficient light levels, and makes a classroom feel comfortable. Lighting strategies will change throughout a school; designing lighting for a classroom is different from designing lighting for a gymnasium, hallway, or library. In addition to the strategies outlined in this chapter, several high-quality analysis tools can be useful when designing efficient and appropriate lighting systems.

This course provides an overview of the strategies used by experts to design effective lighting systems for all school needs. The course is worth one hour of continuing education credit in the area of Health, Safety, Welfare.
