Method and system for designing human-centric lighting

A system for designing human-centric lighting (HCL) for illuminating a space, the system comprising:

• a server having a processor, a memory unit configured for storing a machine-readable instruction for the processor, and an interface configured for receiving input data and instructions from a user;
• wherein the input data comprises a floor plan of the space with use-related information;
• and
• wherein the machine-readable instruction comprises a command to the processor which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
• perform a search in a database of historical lighting solutions based on the floor plan to find a solution matching the space;
• extract a layout method from the lighting solution matching the space;
• perform a search in a lighting device database for a lighting device available for the space and layout;
• simulate an installation of the lighting device into the space based on the layout;
• calculate lighting data;
• perform a search in a lighting standard database;
• check whether the calculated lighting data meets the applicable lighting standard;
• and
• generate an HCL lighting plan if a result of the checking shows a conformity of the calculated lighting data with the applicable lighting standard.
