Episode description
The LRC has put together a very cool web-based tool for designing a space for healthier living (https://www.lrc.rpi.edu/healthyliving/), after playing around with it ourselves, we asked the minds behind it for an interview.
Allison Thayer and Dr. Mariana Figueiro joined us to share how they created this site and how they plan to expand it.
We discussed how hard it is to improve productivity in humans and that we should just stick to lighting occupants can work in enjoyably. Some that means balancing individual needs against bigger trends, some of that means understanding how light relates to different age groups.
We’re not a nocturnal species, and maybe we need to back away from Edison’s triumph over unproductive evenings.
