Validation of spectral simulation tools in the context of ipRGC-influenced light responses of building occupants

Marilyne Andersen, Clotilde Marie A Pierson

With the growing awareness about ipRGC-influenced light (IIL) responses, design applications related to these responses are flourishing. To compare design options and optimize lighting conditions for building occupants, lighting simulations are typically u ...

Quantification of light exposure characteristics modulating non-visual responses with light-dosimetry

Marilyne Andersen, Steffen Lutz Hartmeyer

(1) Background: Extensive laboratory research has shown that physiological and behavioural responses to light are modulated by different light exposure characteristics, that is, spectral composition, intensity, duration, timing, temporal dynamics, prior hi ...

Towards a wearable sensor for spectrally-resolved personal light monitoring

Marilyne Andersen, Giorgia Chinazzo, Forrest Simon Webler

Given the large impact that the spectrum and intensity of light can have on people's health and well-being, it is of fundamental importance to understand the properties of light received under normal living conditions. Historically, as research into the bi ...

Tutorial: Luminance Maps for Daylighting Studies from High Dynamic Range Photography

Jan Wienold, Clotilde Marie A Pierson, Magali Bodart

In the field of lighting, luminance maps are often used to evaluate point-in-time lighting scenes from the occupant’s vantage point. High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography can be used to generate such luminance maps. The aim of this tutorial is to present a ...

Self-commissioning glare-based control system for integrated venetian blind and electric lighting

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Laurent Deschamps, Ali Motamed

Rule-based control logics have proven to be efficient for automation of shading and lighting systems. However, successful commissioning of these systems for multiple stores non-residential buildings, regardless of the control logic, requires time-consuming ...

Impact of dynamic lighting control on light exposure, visual comfort and alertness in office users

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Mirjam Münch, Ali Motamed, Marta Benedetti, Lenka Maierova

The lighting environment at indoor workplaces is important not only to provide vision and visual comfort, but also for light's direct influence on human physiology, cognitive performance and mood. The purpose of this ongoing study is to investigate the imp ...

IOP Science2019

Calibrated climate-based lighting simulation models of buildings have the capacity to perform an essential role in postoccupancy evaluations, such as annual frequency assessments of daylighting quality and visual discomfort. However, in most postoccupancy ...
