24-hour bathroom

Our days begin and end in the bathroom. It is where we energize for the day and calm down in the evenings, which means that the ambiance of a bathroom has a decisive impact on a person’s well-being. Despite this fact, light in the bathroom remains an area that is underestimated or treated as an afterthought. However, when reflective surfaces, lighted mirrors, and warm or cool LED lighting are added, the bathroom becomes alternately rejuvenating and relaxing for morning and evening. This course explores the potential for LED bathroom lighting for occupant well-being, and helps architects and designers specify LED lighting for sustainability, occupant health, and safety, and to appeal to the emotions.
