Summary
This paper discusses the evaluation of temporal and spatial light exposure profiles for typical building occupants, focusing on the effects of light on human health and the performance of a building's users.
Categories
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the evaluation of daylight metrics and the spatial distribution of daylight in a building, considering the effects of light on human health.
Well-being: The paper discusses the impact of light exposure on the well-being of building occupants, considering factors such as alertness, sleep quality, and overall health.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the non-visual effects of light, which can impact cognitive function and memory, and proposes a method to evaluate these effects.
Alertness and performance: The paper discusses the impact of light exposure on alertness and performance, considering factors such as sky condition, time of year, and time of day.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the impact of light exposure on sleep quality, considering factors such as sky condition, time of year, and time of day.
