The Health Research-Based Innovative Open Educational Resources and Tools for Lighting Design Students and Professionals (Light4Health) project has established and deepened a strategic partnership for teaching health research methods and findings to lighting designers at graduate level. Light4Health was a three year Erasmus+ co-funded project, which investigated the impact of light on health, wellbeing and the environments we live in. It developed a novel cross-disciplinary course on the intersection of lighting design and health research by selecting the most relevant health research methods, tools and findings in Neurology, Photobiology, Neuroendocrinology, Neurobehavioral Studies, Psychophysiology of Perception, as well as Behavioural, Cognitive and Environmental Psychology, and introduced these into lighting design curricula which higher education institutions can adopt. The project involves experts from Neurology, Light and Health Research, Lighting Design, Architecture, and the Build Environment from six internationally renowned institutions from the UK, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Russia, and the USA.The project, which was underpinned by scientific research, supports richer understanding of informed lighting designs associated with domestic, educational, healthcare and other types of premises. The educational course, health research methods and other outcomes of the project are suitable for lighting designers at graduate level. The course’s drive of lighting efficiency, design maximisation associated with building performance and educational tools are useful to architects, designers, lighting practitioners and lighting manufacturers. The project’s findings have also articulated the benefits of increased natural and appropriately selected artificial lighting in various settings.The project participants and consortium members have managed to close the gap between research and practice/application and translate research from complex to ‘easy to digest’ for the end users. The higher education course contents created and piloted during three annual summer schools have been consolidated into a Light4Health Online Course of Health Research for Interior Lighting Design. This has been extensively reviewed by lighting manufacturers, design practitioners such as architects and lighting designers, academics in the fields of lighting and health research and students. The course was launched in August 2021 to a very positive response.The course contents are open access, free to use by either lighting students or practitioners through self-study; provide a syllabus and materials for HE providers to use in whole or in part within their curricula or teaching. The online course consists of five educational modules:1.Introduction to health-related research for lighting design2.Review on lighting basics and health and wellbeing research3.Software, measuring devices and evaluation tools4.Standards and best practice5.Application and examples from research and practiceEach module, which has been reviewed by professional bodies, academics and industry practitioners, contains video lectures, supporting presentation slides, a reading reference list and a self-assessment quiz. Teachers are provided with a syllabus and other material such as sample task assignments such as how to do a light plan, measuring illuminance and physiological metrics.This education offer will better inform lighting practitioners and develop stronger client understanding of the impact of specifying appropriate lighting solutions. Light4Health’s impact is at many levels – both international and EU whilst also providing benefits to society and the economy at local, regional and national level. Through intensive cross-border and cross-disciplinary cooperation, the project has triggered collaborations and produced results that are already in use at university level and likely to become self-sustaining and develop further. The project will help to prepare graduates for the lighting industry and other employers in Europe and around the world, thus contributing to making European and other economies more research-driven, knowledge-based, and competitive.
