Conference ·
OSTI ID:6543377

The Lighting Roundtable described in this report was conducted to foster an open discussion of the goals, issues, and responsibilities of the lighting community. It was not a problem-solving session, but rather a time to examine the long-term aspirations and objectives of lighting and the barriers that may stand in the way of achieving them. Eight major issues were addressed by nine panelists and a number of invited auditors. The issues are as follows: (1) The Public Image of the Lighting Community; (2) US Role in the Worldwide Lighting Community; (3) Factors Affecting Human Activities in the Built Environment; (4) Effect of Lighting on Environmental Quality; (5) Effects of Barriers; (6) Establishment of Illuminance Levels; (7) Integration of Subsystems; and (8) Professional Development and Lighting Education. Two parts presented are: (1) a summary of the proceedings; and (2) a complete transcript.
