Lighting design is a process. It is the process of integrating light into the fabric of architecture. Regardless of the space to be lighted -- a bank, a church, an office, a gallery, a restaurant, a store, a classroom -- and regardless of the light sources available for use, the process is always the same. Because lighting design is a process, it can be learned. This course series traces the steps in the lighting design process much as a professional performs them in practice.

This 1-hour interactive online course looks at the elements that produce visual clarity; design techniques for lighting architectural surfaces, tasks, and art; the balance of brightness; energy-effective design; and integrating light and architecture. This course includes a test at the end of each section.
