Approximately 1 hour
Light is fundamental to life, and Earth’s 24-hour light–dark cycle directly impacts our physiology and behavior. Indoors, reduced exposure to daylight and increased exposure to electric light after dark interfere with circadian rhythms. This course examines how circadian rhythms affect human performance, health, and well-being, the receptors in the eye that send visual and nonvisual responses to the brain, the action spectrum for circadian stimulus, and the metrics used to quantify circadian-stimulus light. Also presented are methods for applying circadian-effective lighting systems to satisfy the requirements of WELL Building Standard™ v2, Light, Feature L03, Circadian Lighting Design.

Title: Director Lighting Design & Applications, Spectrum Lighting Inc.
Markus Earley is an award winning lighting designer and educator. Beginning at Howard Brandston Lighting Design in 1981, Earley was the first recipient of the Richard Kelly Memorial Scholarship in 1985. Mr. Earley has over 40 years of experience as a designer of lighting and has taught architectural lighting for over 20 combined years at the Pratt Institute, the Parsons School of Design, and, most recently, the Rhode Island School of Design. Earley designed the lighting education experiences at the Lightolier Tech Center in Fall River, MA, in the mid 1990s, before launching Earleylight, an architectural LD firm in Providence, RI, where he worked for 15 years. Markus joined Spectrum Lighting Inc., Fall River, MA, in 2013 and recently designed the Spectrum Lighting Tech Center lighting experience center, which is 100% LED and includes circadian-effective lighting. When not tinkering with light, he's likely to be outside, traversing gnarly mountain bike trails.
