Smart Lighting Solutions explores the current state of circadian lighting research and discusses achievable ways for architects and designers to implement it in their projects.

Topics covered

  • Evolution of circadian rhythm

  • Health implications of circadian disruption

  • How light impacts the circadian system

  • Evidence-based metrics

  • Design considerations

  • Conceptual discussion of applications

Learning objectives

  1. Define circadian rhythm and how it impacts the human body’s sleep/wake cycle.

  2. Identify the five controllable lighting parameters that have a circadian impact.

  3. Differentiate between the two primary circadian metrics and use the Circadian Stimulus calculator to determine successful design for circadian entrainment.

  4. Execute four lighting design techniques to create a circadian-focused solution.
