ATLANTA, August 26, 2025 – Acuity Brands Lighting announced it has joined the Well Living Lab, a global consortium of organizations supporting the advancement of knowledge about how the indoor places where people live, work, learn, and play can improve human health and well-being.
The Well Living Lab, founded as a collaboration of Delos and Mayo Clinic, draws upon the expertise of building science and health science and conducts human subject studies in simulated real-world settings in which environmental variables are altered to monitor impact on health, performance, stress and resiliency, sleep and comfort. It is the first research center devoted exclusively to this field of study. The lab has 5,500 square feet of reconfigurable space, currently set up to study occupants of apartments and open office environments. Since its inception in 2016, the lab has conducted 42 studies, with more underway.
“Acuity Brands Lighting is proud to become a sustaining member of the Well Living Lab Alliance,” said Jeannine Fisher Wang, Director of Technology Solutions, Acuity Brands Lighting. “This membership underscores our commitment to advancing scientific research that informs the design of indoor environments. As the only lighting company currently part of the Alliance, we look forward to collaborating with other industry leaders to explore innovative solutions that can help enhance the well-being of building occupants.”
As a sustaining member of the Well Living Lab Alliance, Acuity Brands Lighting will benefit from networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities, including member-only educational webinars, an annual summit and showcase, and early insights from ongoing studies.
“We are excited to welcome Acuity Brands Lighting to the Well Living Lab Alliance,” said Barbara Spurrier, MHA, Executive Director, Well Living Lab. “It’s expertise in lighting solutions adds a valuable perspective to our collaborative research, helping us further explore how indoor environments can positively impact health and well-being.”
