Course Description:
The circadian rhythm is an important natural body cycle, and light is an critical factor. It allows us to concentrate during the day and helps us sleep at night. Lighting control allows us to sync or trick our natural rhythms for our benefit. Several control options are available to perform white-tuning and new standards provide incentives/guidelines to owners and their employee for deployment.
