In recent years, human centric lighting – a philosophy describing lighting that creates more comfortable, welcoming, and engaging environments for people – has become a widely discussed talking point in the building industry. But differences of opinion regarding its impact and scope have generated discussion among industry specifiers and end users.
To further those goals, Lutron has created a holistic approach to human centric lighting named HXL. HXL approach combines four elements of lighting design to allow people to be, work, and feel their best: Quality Light, Natural Light, Connection to the Outdoors, and Adaptive and Personalized control.
This approach recognizes the importance of biophilia, a human connection to nature; incorporates the Internet of Things with smart technology; and allows people to manage their environment with a variety of personalized control. Indeed, the four elements of lighting design focus on different aspects of the human experience:
The HXL approach also supports sustainability by helping reduce energy costs and embracing elements of the natural world, and it contributes to design supporting WELL and LEED standards.
“The Lutron’s approach illuminates the human experience,” said Ripu Daman. “The concept of human centric lighting is about creating more comfortable and engaging environments for people, just being sensitive to human needs, whether it’s in an office space, home, in a hospital, in a classroom or stay in a hotel for vacation, “ he said. With this human centric concept in mind, Lutron puts the benefits to space occupants at the core of any discussion about lighting control and technology. Ripu Daman added that among many companies, aspects of human centric lighting are already a key consideration of any architectural and design plan – a trend that will only continue. “We just need to evolve over time to get the best result for every project, ” said Ripu Daman.
