This presentation provides an overview of a simulation-based evaluation for estimating the potential energy impacts of existing circadian lighting recommendations considering electric lighting and daylight. Towards this goal, a spectral simulation workflow was created for estimating the contributions of electric light sources and annual daylight, relying on measured spectra. The simulation workflow was used to estimate illuminance, EML, and electrical energy use for a simple office model.
