ABSTRACT: The main aim of DYNALIGHT project is to optimize the design and configuration of the biodynamic lighting systems to promote a suitable circadian rhythm in work centers with rotating schedules, assessing at the same time the lighting smart controls for the use of daylighting. The biodynamic lighting uses lighting emitting diodes RGB, controlled by a DALI system which allow to vary both the luminous flux and the wavelength of the emitted light. In order to achieve this aim, a multidisciplinary research team is created, made up of architects expert in lighting design, researchers expert in the study of melatonin and its biologycal effects and medical experts in biochemistry and occupational risk prevention. The work center will be the Trauma Intensive Care Unit (TICU) of the University Hospital Virgen del Rocío in Seville (Spain). The study sample accessible to the research is the 120 workers in the 24 h nursing area. The project is approved by the head of preventive medicine of the hospital, which belongs to the research team, and also has obtained authorization from the Ethics Committee of Clinical Research of the Virgen Macarena and Virgen Hospitals. The TICU nursing area will have a lighting system with smart control that combines natural and electric light in all the floor, so that 500-1000 lx are obtained in the working plane according to the requirements of the work, which can also work as a biodynamic lighting system. The overhead of this lighting design, proposed with the specific purpose of this research project, has been assumed by the company SIMON, sponsor entity of this project, with the approval of all the intervening agents.
