The analysis of scientific papers revealed that the majority of studies in the field of lighting control systems are devoted to energy conservation, and single-user interaction with lighting. At the same time, the issue related to the impact of lighting on human stress levels in an educational environment is covered only by a number of studies that have investigated lighting parameters for different types of human activities. While there are known dependencies of the positive influence of lighting on reducing conflict behavior and stress levels in multi-user spaces, there is no mechanism for adapting appropriate lighting systems to the psycho-emotional state of users of such spaces. The paper presents the analysis of scientific publications and patents on non-visual effects of lighting on human body. The effects of lighting on conflict behavior and stressful state of a person were studied when using adaptive lighting systems. The methods and approaches of the developed adaptive lighting systems and the constraints associated with these methods were analyzed. The results of theoretical and experimental studies are given. A set of methods and tools to create an intelligent multi-user adaptive lighting system is proposed.
