Despite the potential benefits and variety of conditions that tunable lighting systems can provide, research documenting occupant preference in healthcare settings is sparse. Recently, researchers at PNNL and Georgia Institute of Technology’s SimTigrate Design Lab partnered on a study of patient preference for tunable light.
This month, we explore an advanced lighting controls installation at the WAV PlayPark at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada.
This month, we explore a circadian-friendly lighting controls design at an observation unit in a healthcare facility.
This month, we will explore an innovative installation of lighting controls at Forward Medical SF, a healthcare facility in San Francisco.
The lighting design for this new hospital focused on the quality of the patient experience, using light as a means to help enhance the wellness and comfort of both patients and their families. Reinforcing the circadian rhythm of patients with daylight and electric light was a key aspect of enhancing the patient comfort and well-being.
