Light

Research continues to build indicating that light has a significant influence on well-being. 

Researchers at The Ohio State University investigated the psychological repercussions of being exposed to dim light (5 lux) for 8 hours each day and normal daylight (150 lux) during the other 16.  

LEDs can produce light in a variety of colors.

The Daylighting Collaborative presents daylighting design guidelines at the web address noted below.  

Les reports on office-lighting research conducted by the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering, LEiDs GmbH and Co. KG of Backnang.

Researchers at the University of Colorado Denver identified another good reason to flood the interiors of healthcare facilities with daylight. 

Research by Banerjee, Chatterjee, and Sinha may explain otherwise puzzling findings related to the perceived brightness of an environment.

The projects in this book are a rich sensory mélange and reflect the range of design options now available to innovatively incorporate light, color, and sound into user experience.

There is a new  report on daylight in residential environments. This review  is comprehensive and addresses a range of useful topics.

Munch and his team’s recent research on office lighting is particularly important since as a result of flexible and longer work hours many people find themselves in their offices in the early evening.
