Summary
The paper discusses the optimization of lighting projects that consider parameters related to circadian light, aiming to simplify the design of such projects based on traditional photometric parameters and calculations.
Categories
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the optimization of lighting projects, considering both photopic and melanopic levels, and aims to simplify the design of such projects.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the impact of light on cognitive functions, such as alertness and performance, and how optimized lighting can contribute to improved cognitive function.
Well-being: The paper discusses the potential effects of light on people's well-being, and how optimizing these effects can create the greatest possible well-being in the short-, medium-, or long-term.
Education and learning: The paper uses a real classroom to illustrate the behavior of horizontal (visual stimuli) and vertical (circadian contribution) illuminances under different design parameters.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of light in regulating the circadian cycles of our biological clocks, which are influenced by intrinsic photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in humans.
