Smart lighting for control rooms and situation centers
01 - 01 january 1970
The concept of lighting an object is determined by its functions. A control room or situation center is an information-technology node that ensures the interaction of cybernetic, physical and computing resources, with a person remaining at the center of the control.
Successful performance of such centers is determined by physiological characteristics of employees and ergonomic workspace, as well as the most suitable environmental conditions: lighting, microclimate, noise, etc.
So, the lighting concept should be based on a human-centered approach that ensures the functionality, comfort and well-being of employees.
This approach was implemented in the design of "smart lighting" of the single control center of Moscow Metro. UP/DOWN luminaires were used for general lighting of the center – they provide normalized illumination, minimize glare and create comfort. The AMBIOT digital automated lighting control system made it possible not only to implement a dynamic basic lighting scheme, syncing with the 24-hour circadian rhythms of shift work, but also to significantly reduce power consumption.
Smart lighting of control rooms and situation centers allows to provide comfortable and functional lighting environment, meet the required standards, create conditions for physical and psychological well-being of personnel as well as to optimize power consumption for lighting purposes.
Alexander Karev, PhD in Technical Sciences, Head of Science at Lighting Technologies, will speak on "Smart lighting environment in control rooms and situational centers" at the International scientific conference "Lighting Design" (St. Petersburg, 13-14 October 2022). Karev has 30 years of experience in the field of lighting technologies. Participation in the conference is free of charge, but registration is needed.
More about the conference.
In 2020, we made a video "Lighting of control rooms in practice" that is still relevant today. Watch the video.
The video covers:
the impact of lighting quality and lighting design of workstations on performance, reaction, attention, mental and physical health;
examples of design, modeling and calculations, as well as the results of the implementation of integrated approaches in lighting the single dispatch center;
potential use of the experience in other facilities. Watch video
