Summary
This paper discusses the impact of indoor lighting on quality of life, focusing on the visual and non-visual effects of lighting, and how these might be included in quality standards and regulations.
Categories
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the importance of lighting design in improving quality of life, and how current standards and regulations might be outdated or insufficient.
Well-being: The paper discusses how lighting can impact human well-being, health, and productivity, and how this should be considered in lighting design.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how lighting can impact cognitive functions and biological rhythms, and how this should be considered in lighting design.
Alertness and performance: The paper discusses how lighting can impact alertness and performance, and how this should be considered in lighting design.
