Human-Centric Lighting (HCL) has been part of the smart building discussion for some years now but its implementation has so far been limited to only the most advanced facilities. While the biological benefits of the technology are proven, the technical and financial elements required for the widespread implementation of HCL in a broad spectrum of buildings has yet to be established. However, as predicted in our 2019 report, things are beginning to change for HCL as guidelines move towards standardization and the total cost of ownership for the technology is better understood. The next two to three years now promise to be a turning point for the proliferation of HCL across the commercial building landscape. “HCL goes beyond simply providing illumination for the built environment. It manipulates the light output, triggering biological responses in the human circadian system, according to the objectives of the environment. HCL has demonstrated its ability to make workers more productive, […]
