Скачать или смотреть Are you aware of just how lighting and acoustics affect your well-being? FOMO5 1 from Ep.11

Did you know - When in a building, whether it be our homes or offices, we often overlook how lighting and acoustics impact our mental and physical well-being. Spend five minutes with us to understand more, and what you could do about it… 

As an example, insufficient lighting can lead to musculoskeletal issues due to poor posture, while bad acoustics could cause cardiovascular problems. Discover why in this week's 'Sandbox' FOMO5 episode. 

In this short segment, taken from our most recent podcast episode, 'How Buildings Affect Your Sleep, Stress & Productivity (without you noticing)', the panelists explore the effects of poor lighting and acoustics - from chronic stress to cognitive impairments - and highlight the importance of raising awareness to improve our own environments. 

Expert Insight: Lena Kalpakidi, Senior Lighting Engineer at Buro Happold, said, “People do not consciously recognise the impact of good design, because in fast-paced environments, individuals focus more on their activities and responsibilities rather than how they feel within spaces.  

“And this leads to a disconnect from their emotional world with a strong emphasis on practicality.” 

Joining our regular host Andy Duncan in this episode are Buro Happold experts Lena Kalpakidi, Senior Lighting Engineer, and Daniel Bailey, Associate, Acoustics & AV.
