Summary

This thesis investigates how artificial lighting in classrooms affects students' emotions and perceptions using Kansei Engineering and Semantic Differential methodology, providing a user-centered framework for lighting design in educational spaces. It also evaluates the perceptual differences between fluorescent and LED lighting, offering practical guidance for architects and designers making lighting decisions in learning environments.

Key Findings

Three field studies compared student perceptions of classroom lighting, finding that lighting attributes significantly influence overall classroom assessment alongside other indoor environmental quality parameters.
Replacement of fluorescent lamps with LED lamps in classrooms produced measurable differences in student perception, demonstrating LED's potential for improving both energy efficiency and user experience.
Kansei Engineering / Semantic Differential methodology was validated as a practical tool for capturing user-centered lighting preferences, avoiding reliance solely on expert-defined parameters.
