NICU LIGHTING with Laurie Emery
Lighting for the NICU Space: Supporting Health, Comfort, and Wellbeing of Neonates, Family and Staff through Lighting Design
Description:
The NICU is a complex medical environment, and at any time there will be vulnerable newborn infants, family members and professional medical staff occupying the area, requiring thoughtful application of the lighting design. This course will focus on lighting design strategies that meet the standards and best practices for NICU patient rooms and their unique illumination needs. This course will also address special lighting for the treatment of infants with medical conditions unique to neonates including addressing the body’s photo-biological response to daylight and the visual lighting spectrum and how to apply it. The lighting design intent in the NICU is to create a space for healing, care, and respite for the newborns, their families, and caregivers.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this course participants will be able to:
• Describe a neonate’s eye development and the importance of lighting design to ensure proper light levels for their development while safely protecting their vision
• Discuss the body’s biological and physiological responses to light and how it relates to the wellbeing of the neonate and their families in NICU environments
• Explain need for cycled light, daylight and proximity to the newborns as well as family members and staff
• Categorize different NICU Care Room layouts and compare lighting solutions to create a comfortable and safe outcome for neonates, families, and caregivers
Target Audience:
Architects, Interior Designers and other design professionals. The ideal audience size can be 10-30 people. This program is basic and meets the needs
of professionals at every experience level.

PRESENTATION:
Waste Management in the Healthcare Setting
Synopsis:
As a result of numerous historical environmental tragedies that resulted from the improper disposal of hazardous waste, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed comprehensive and often confusing regulations for the proper handling and management of waste. Healthcare establishments are not exempt and must know and understand the waste it generates, and ensure proper disposal.
This event will help SMSHE members achieve the following:

Learn how to characterize waste generated by your facilities, especially your hazardous waste. Hazardous waste from healthcare facilities could include spent concentrated cleaning chemicals, radioactive waste, spent flammable hand sanitizers, etc.
Identify your hazardous waste generator status and understand the requirements for each. This includes waste container labeling, storage area inspections, development of contingency plans, training, and hazmat shipping regulations.
Understand how to manage other types of waste, including fluorescent bulbs, spent batteries, biohazardous waste, and non-hazardous waste.
Review common hazardous waste violations to ensure you address these at your facilities before you receive a visit from a regulator.

Eric is passionate about helping organizations design, build, and maintain environments that support exceptional care delivery while advancing innovation across the healthcare ecosystem.
PRESENTATION:
Practical Insights on Healthcare Modular Solutions
Healthcare modular solutions are most effective when positioned as a strategic delivery model, not a construction alternative. When thoughtfully integrated into clinical planning, modular environments can accelerate speed to occupancy, improve cost predictability, and enhance quality control through controlled manufacturing processes.
Successful deployment depends on early alignment between clinical stakeholders, design teams, compliance experts, and operational leadership. Modular solutions perform best in high-repeatability environments such as patient rooms, behavioral health units, urgent care centers, ambulatory surgery centers, and support spaces where standardization drives efficiency without compromising care delivery.
Key advantages include schedule compression, reduced site disruption, improved safety performance, and tighter cost management. Practical success requires disciplined integration with structural systems, MEP coordination, life safety compliance, and state regulatory approvals.
Rather than replacing conventional construction, modular healthcare solutions serve as a strategic complement that accelerates delivery timelines and reduces risk while preserving clinical integrity. When applied intentionally, modular construction enable scalable, resilient healthcare environments designed to support operational efficiency, clinical excellence, and long term financial stewardship.

Presentation Synopsis:
Health care infrastructure is aging rapidly, with the average age of plants now exceeding 13 years after decades of underinvestment. While hospitals face rising operational, regulatory and environmental pressures, new opportunities are emerging to redefine the ROI of infrastructure investment.

By aligning innovation with capital strategy, organizations can elevate infrastructure from a cost center to a business value driver.
Learning Objectives:

Define ASHE/ASHRAE Guideline 43 and explain how its comprehensive approach to ventilation management establishes a new framework for operating and evaluating HVAC infrastructure within health care facilities.
Understand how infrastructure performance can be directly connected to financial outcomes, enabling leaders to redefine ROI by linking HVAC and facility investment decisions to measurable operational and economic impacts.
Identify how ventilation and infrastructure management can strengthen patient care outcomes, demonstrating the connection between optimized HVAC performance,environmental quality, and safe, reliable clinical environments.
Recognize how a policy-driven Ventilation Management Program (VMP) enables facility leaders to re-engage executive stakeholders, elevating infrastructure from a capital expense to a strategic business asset that supports long-term organizational performance.
