Abstract

Summary

This paper investigates the effects of light and ambient temperature on visual and thermal appraisals, suggesting that visual and thermal comfort are closely related and that these findings could be applied in office environments to save energy by controlling the temperature less strictly and compensating potential thermal discomfort with visually comfortable light settings.

Alertness and performance: The paper discusses the effects of light on alertness and performance, suggesting that light could influence thermal responses and potentially benefit health and productivity.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper explores how different light conditions can influence both visual and thermal appraisals, suggesting that lighting design can be used to compensate for potential discomfort due to temperature variations.
Well-being: The paper discusses the potential beneficial health effects of allowing more variations in indoor temperature and using LED lighting to influence thermal responses.
