For those who are unfamiliar with research, it’s important to know there are two categories. Fundamental (or basic) research and applied research. Basic research often discusses scientific ideas/theories, whereas, applied research explores testing these ideas in practice to develop technology or techniques. It’s applied research which most interests lighting practitioners. Great lighting design that creates a pleasant and beneficial user experience in any given space doesn’t just occur miraculously. Rather, it’s built on the designer’s insights and understanding, which comes from sound research and years of practice. This awareness comes from knowing the end users, as well as comprehending what’s best for them. In my view, there are three key research topics for the future of our lighting design profession that we should become familiar with. They are all based on the mounting research about daylight and artificial light and its impact on circadian relevance and biological stimulus. These are: (1) Environmental impact and light pollution, (2) Biophilic office design and (3) User oriented daylight integrated lighting (DIL). These topics have been demonstrated below by some pioneering project examples, where research has been performed to help derive outstanding results.
