Summary
This paper discusses the impact of daylighting conditions and shading systems on the health and wellbeing of building occupants, with a focus on the working environment.
Categories
Well-being: The paper discusses the impact of daylighting conditions and shading systems on the wellbeing of building occupants, particularly in the working environment.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the role of shading systems in controlling the amount of natural light in a space, and how this can impact the health and wellbeing of building occupants.
Depression: The paper references the impact of workplace stress, depression, and anxiety on employee wellbeing and productivity, and how daylighting conditions can potentially mitigate these issues.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how daylighting conditions can impact cognitive function and productivity in the workplace.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the impact of daylighting conditions on sleep quality, which is a component of overall health and wellbeing.
Mood regulation: The paper discusses how daylighting conditions can impact mood, which is a component of overall health and wellbeing.
Employee satisfaction and retention: The paper discusses how daylighting conditions can impact employee satisfaction and retention, particularly in the context of the working environment.
