Five trends of commercial lighting in 2018

With the adoption of intelligent lighting and the Internet of Things, lighting characteristics such as color, intensity and time can be automatically adjusted to meet people's needs. For example, in an article by Digital Lumens, the author pointed out that in children's schools, Biosensors will track students' alertness, subtle spectrum changes to automatically raise their attention at any time Osram summarizes several major trends in commercial lighting in 2018, let's take a look at what this lighting professional player thinks of the future. Because of human lighting, light affects our lives in many ways, including our health, mood, productivity, attention, Sleep Cycle, decision-making, etc. With the adoption of intelligent lighting and the Internet of Things, lighting characteristics such as color, intensity and time can be automatically adjusted to meet people's needs. For example, in an article by Digital Lumens, the author pointed out that in children's schools, Biosensors will track students' alertness, subtly change the spectrum to automatically increase their attention at any time. Chad Groshart, IALD (Member of International Association of Lighting Designers), leed ap bd c ( LEED green building design and construction qualification certification personnel) And WELL Faculty/AP (WELL qualification certification personnel), He directly participates in people every day due to lighting (HCL). Groshart said: human factor lighting is an important trend. People are increasingly interested in it and adopt it more and more widely. New control technologies also make it easier to implement. He said: WELL building standards have always been the catalyst behind the HCL trend. WELL Building Standard is a performance-based system for measuring, certifying and monitoring building environmental characteristics that affect people's health and WELL-being. It is certified by a green business company (GBCI) Third-party certification issued by, which is responsible for managing LEED certification and certification procedures. Intelligent lighting enables IoT application lighting to be everywhere, and every lamp can be easily and reliably powered on. By adding sensors, LED technology and connectivity have changed the way we visually experience and interact in our workspace. An intelligent, sensor-filled, connected lighting system will become a data-driven network that can be bound to an automated building management system (BMS). Forward-looking building owners and facility managers will regard each light point as a data node and may become an early adopter of emerging intelligent buildings and Internet of Things applications. The connected lighting control system they now choose for lighting and energy management will become the infrastructure for these applications. We are still in the pioneering stage of understanding which Internet of Things applications will be launched and which sensor data will be necessary applications. In preparing the unknown infrastructure of the building, some facility managers hedge their bets by installing a larger number of sensors in the connected lighting management system. In addition to light sensors and occupancy sensors, forward-thinking facility managers are trying sensors such as relative humidity, particulate matter and environmental pollutants. The more sensors, the better awareness is being popularized. It is no accident that lamps are regarded as an ideal sensor deployment platform. Groshart said that although no one knows the exact potential of each type of sensor, there is a general agreement among the equipment managers who design the project, especially on the potential reservation, because when everything becomes a reality, no one wants to be left behind. Simplifying daylight collection daylight collection is not a new lighting control strategy. Similarly, it is not a day or two for the market to call for a simplified lighting control debugging process. ASHRAE 90. 1- 2016 The requirements for automatic daylight sensitive control of side lighting and top lighting have been strengthened, and more lighting conditions have been added. The proper lighting in LEED certification rating system includes 3 points. With the emphasis on simplification of installation, it is hoped that the problem of daylight collection can be solved more easily through the new lighting control system, which provides simple setup and debugging tools. It is hoped that natural light will be brought into the space as much as possible, which not only conforms to the regulations, but also makes it easier to realize energy-saving benefits. The daylight collection uses the lighting control system to adjust the artificial lighting in response to the change of the amount of sunlight, and the automatic lighting control system uses the light sensor to measure the amount of natural light in the space, and dim or turn off artificial light when there is enough ambient light to achieve a consistent good light line level while reducing energy consumption. Energy consumption and regulations, although the new energy regulations have been promoting the digitalization of lighting for the past 10 years, we still mention it on the 2018 lighting trend list. In fact, energy consumption continues to affect many lighting design decisions, especially as regulations are updated and become more stringent. Many people in the industry expect that the 2019 version of Title 24 will take effect in January 1, 2020, and facility managers outside California will pay attention to this update because energy licensing may spread to other states. Although energy budget is still a key parameter in design, experts believe that the new regulations should not prevent anyone from making good lighting design. For example, they pointed out that ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers)Standard 90. 1 There is a decorative allowance of 1 watt/square foot above the baseline quota, which enables lighting designers to strike a balance between energy regulations and customer expectations.
