Healthcare Lighting Trends: Where Dreams Begin & End @ KFI Engeineers or Virtual Option
Apr 9 @ 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm

Please join IES MSP for a virtual presentation and discussion on healthcare lighting trends featuring Tony Staub, PE, LC with Specialized Engineering Solutions. This event will be offered in-person at KFI Engineers or virtually with Tony Staub presenting remotely. Call it a watch party!

This one-hour session will touch on the latest trends and tech in healthcare lighting such as Circadian, UV-C, color consistency and lighting controls best practices. But with all the latest and greatest available, what is being realized on projects? Are they always a budget buster? Too complicated? Tony will shed light on who typically leads the charge for implementing new tech and initiatives and why, beyond budget, they fail.
