It is known that color and brightness perceptions are governed by our response
to optical radiation in different spectral regions, yet there is still much to learn.
How does the composition of spectral power influence perceptions of brightness,
color discrimination, color preference, and overall preference? Are some
wavelength regions especially potent at eliciting positive impressions of color and
brightness? Do some wavelength regions cause detrimental effects to
impressions of color and brightness?
This presentation will provide an overview of work carried out by Dr. Houser and
his colleagues that has identified spectral regions of particular significance.
Spectral regions have been identified that strongly influence human perceptions
of brightness and color per watt of optical radiation. The talk will outline the
underlying theory, provide examples of supporting research, and demonstrate
how this body of work has influenced the spectral design of electric light sources.
Dr. Houser is a Professor of Architectural Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University. Prior to joining
Penn State in 2008 he was a founding faculty member of the architectural engineering program at the
University of Nebraska. He has been the Manager of Lighting Education for Philips Lighting Company and
has also worked for Public Works and Government Services Canada, Elliptipar Corporation in Connecticut,
and Edwards and Zuck in New York City. Dr. Houser is the owner of Loucetios LLC, a lighting consulting firm
based in State College, PA.
Dr. Houser is a licensed Professional Engineer, Lighting Certified (LC) by the National Council for the
Qualification of the Lighting Professions (NCQLP), and a LEED Accredited Professional. He is former
member of the Board of Directors of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA), and now
serves on several of the society’s technical committees. He is an educator member of the International
Association of Lighting Designers (IALD), and a former member of the Board of Directors of the Nuckolls
Fund for Lighting Education. He is one of the four editors of the 10th edition IES Lighting Handbook, is on the
Editorial Advisory Board for Architectural Lighting, and is Editor-in-Chief of LEUKOS, the Journal of the
Illuminating Engineering Society. He is a board member of Lux Pacifica, representing IESNA.
His research has focused on the relationship between the spectral composition of light and human vision and
has been recognized with the Taylor Technical Talent Award from IESNA and the Leon Gaster Award from
the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE).
At his university posts he develops and teaches courses in illuminating engineering and lighting design and
he has designed international learning experiences for engineering students. The University of Nebraska
recognized his student-centered approach to education with five teaching awards.
Dr. Houser earned B.A.E. and Ph.D. degrees in Architectural Engineering from the Pennsylvania State
University. As a doctoral student he focused on Architectural Lighting with a minor in Statistics. During that
time he studied structural engineering in Leeds, England and architecture in Rome, Italy, and also served as
the student representative on the Board of Directors for IALD.
