Summary
The paper discusses the performance of natural light in indoor environments, its impact on human health, and the need for architectural design to consider these factors.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how natural light impacts cognitive function and alertness through the regulation of circadian rhythms.
Well-being: The paper explores how natural light in indoor environments can impact well-being, health, and comfort.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper proposes a method for evaluating light performance in work environments, taking into account the non-visual effects of natural light on health.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses how natural light impacts the production of hormones such as serotonin, melatonin, and cortisol.
