Summary
The paper discusses the development of a new tool and workflow, OWL (Occupant Well-being through Lighting), for simulating the non-image forming effects of light, which play a crucial role in regulating human circadian rhythms.
Categories
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper presents a new tool for simulating the non-image forming effects of light, which is relevant to lighting design considerations.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses how light exposure influences hormone regulation, such as the suppression of melatonin and the production of cortisol.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper mentions that light exposure can influence cognitive performance.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses how light exposure can influence sleep patterns and potentially lead to sleep disorders.
Well-being: The paper discusses the role of light in human health and well-being, and presents a tool for simulating the non-image forming effects of light, which can influence well-being.
