Outcome-Based Design for Circadian Lighting: An integrated Approach to Simulation & Metrics

Abstract

Lighting practitioners are increasingly asked to quantify melanopic illuminance for phase shift and melatonin suppression at an hourly time scale for compliance with the WELL building Standard. This paper illustrates a workflow to achieve Equivalent Melanopic Lux (EML) goals based on the spectral qualities of daylight and electric light sources in the highly variable context of office design. The impacts of climate, view, color temperature, wall color, and orientation are considered.
