Unified framework to evaluate non-visual spectral effectiveness of light for human health

Marilyne Andersen, María Lovísa Ámundadóttir, Steven W. Lockley

The discovery of a novel non-rod, non-cone photoreceptor in the mammalian eye that mediates a range of ‘non-visual’ responses to light has required reexamination of how lighting needs for human health are characterized and evaluated. Existing literature pr ...

Simulation-based evaluation of non-visual responses to daylight: proof-of-concept study of healthcare re-design

Marilyne Andersen, María Lovísa Ámundadóttir, Steven W. Lockley

The discovery of a novel non-rod, non-cone photoreceptor in the human eye that mediates a number of effects on the brain has sparked a growing interest in incorporating these non-visual effects of light into the design process of buildings. Appropriately–t ...

Modelling 'non-visual' effects of daylighting in a residential environment

Marilyne Andersen, Sharon Jane Gochenour, Steven W. Lockley

The importance of light not only as a therapeutic tool but as an essential element of healthy living has been highlighted by the recent discovery of a specialized photoreceptor in the eye responsible for synchronizing our internal circadian pacemaker. This ...

A framework for predicting the non-visual effects of daylight – Part I: photobiology-based model

Marilyne Andersen, Steven W. Lockley

This paper investigates the formulation of a modelling framework for the nonvisual effects of daylight, such as entrainment of the circadian system and maintenance of alertness. The body of empirical data from photobiology studies is now sufficient to star ...
