Optimization of lighting projects including photopic and circadian criteria: A simplified action protocol

Sánchez-Cano, A. (Universidad de Zaragoza) ; Aporta, J. (Universidad de Zaragoza)

Resumen: Lighting projects that consider parameters related to circadian light remain rare. Using controlled lighting on both photopic and melanopic levels, this study aims to simplify the design of circadian lighting projects based on traditional photometric parameters and calculations. A real classroom is used to illustrate the behavior of horizontal (visual stimuli) and vertical (circadian contribution) illuminances under different design parameters, such as the varied reflectance of walls, ceiling, and floor; varied spatial distribution curves, including the number and position of luminaires; and across the spectral power distribution of a variety of LEDs. In this work, we seek to clarify and simplify to the greatest possible extent the meaning and scope of various lighting standards while establishing simple protocols. Our results will enable designers to carry out optimized lighting projects from both the photometric and circadian perspectives.
