Sustainability is a more permanent focus for the event, industry and the world in general, but there can sometimes be a disconnect between the constantly improving science and its practical application. Light + Building’s 2022 lecture programme will offer clear advice on what’s possible in renewable energy, while both energy management and personal health can be improved with smart technology applications, as will be evidenced in the E-House. Light + Building’s dedicated app will also help to digitally prepare, enhance the experience, as well as extend the fair long after the lights have gone out.
