Now that the recommended practice for supporting physiological and behavioral effects of lighting is here it’s time to get to work on applying it in the real world. This session will walk through the design considerations needed to support the recommendations put forth by RP-46. This will talk about how reflectance, room-cavity-ratio, spectrum and color temperature impact these physiological effects of light and will briefly walk through a handful of field applications and their results, including elderly care, corporate office, education, and healthcare.
Some knowledge of spectral power distribution is recommended.
Learning Objectives
