Crestron, a global leader in control and automation technology, recently announced
that its commercial lighting customers are now a touch away from easy command
of their circadian lighting solutions. Manipulation of artificial light as the primary
circadian stimulus in buildings that meet the WELL Building Standard® (WELL) is a
hot trend in architectural lighting. Crestron circadian lighting solutions ensure those
lighting control systems perform to specification and are easy to use.

“Research suggests that automatically adjusting the colour temperature and
intensity of light to synchronise with the natural circadian rhythm can create an
optimal environment and trick our bodies,’ said Nathan Dietrich, Director,
Commercial Lighting at Crestron.

In office spaces, circadian lighting control can help drive greater concentration,
productivity, and creativity among workers. In healthcare environments, such as in
a patient’s room, it can promote faster healing, which translates into better
outcomes, faster patient out-time, and cost savings. In classrooms, it can lead to
better student behaviour and concentration. And in hotels it can help guests
acclimate their natural body rhythms to local time and thereby mitigate the effects
of jet lag during the day.

In addition to the physical benefits, the new WELL Building Standard provides
building owners and managers cost-saving deployment guidelines for building
features that impact health and wellbeing, including lighting.

“Circadian research may be complicated but the implementation of a circadian
solution is not,’ adds Dietrich. “Crestron circadian solutions ensure that the pieces,
parts, protocols, wiring, and software work together to meet project objectives.’

Crestron control systems and graphical user interfaces (i.e. touch screens, desktop
or mobile apps) enable users to control the colour, intensity, and dosage of light in
their space to elicit a particular circadian effect. Features such as graphical colour
pickers and user selectable time clock events enable people to understand and get
the most out of their tuned environment.
