The Washington, DC, headquarters office of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) was the first project in the world certified platinum by both the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), through its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program, and the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), through its WELL Building Standard.
Lighting plays a crucial role in the space, and that was the focus of the three experts who comprised “The WELL Building Standard” panel that discussed these issues at the National Lighting Bureau’s Annual Lighting Forum. EdisonReport Editor and Publisher Randy Reid moderated the panel. The experts are:
• James R. “Jim” Benya, P.E., FIES, FIALD, principal and partner, Benya Burnett Consultancy, codesigner of the new lighting system used in the ASID’s Washington, DC headquarters;
• Deborah Burnett, ASID, CMG, AASM, principal and partner, Benya Burnett Consultancy, codesigner of the new lighting system used in the ASID’s Washington, DC headquarters; and
• Susan Chung, Ph.D., director of research and knowledge management, ASID, and lead researcher of the pre- and post-occupancy research of ASID’s Washington, DC headquarters.
