Everyone deserves quality lighting indoors.  This talk will address lighting equity in sustainable and healthy interior spaces.   It examines the causes and characteristics of poor quality interior lighting, including the lack of access to daylight and views, restorative darkness, and quality lighting design in places that house and serve people from marginalized communities.   This talk is a further exploration into the intersection of lighting and environmental justice, by exploring the history, practice and case studies of interior lighting for under-served communities.  This talk will answer these key questions: How can we bring quality indoor lighting to everyone?  What are the barriers to everyone having quality lighting?  What are examples of quality lighting that is accessible and affordable  to everyone?  This talk will be backed by data, research and case studies by practitioners who has been able to have a significant impact on the spaces used and enjoyed by under-served communities.
