Comparison of objective and subjective visual comfort and associations with non-visual functions in young subjects

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Mirjam Münch, Friedrich Linhart, Apiparn Borisuit

Visual comfort is a key element at work places and at home. Besides task illuminance and color rendering it is the indoor light distribution, which strongly impacts visual comfort. We aimed to show possible relations between subjective and objective visual ...

Model for view direction as a function of light distribution

Mandana Sarey Khanie

Discomfort Glare: - Focus on understanding discomfort glare - Embedding eye‐movement patterns in glare assessments - Refining glare position index. Problem: - The light of sight in glare position index is assumed to be fixed - In a natural experience, line ...

Daylight optimization of buildings and application of advanced daylighting systems in Central Mexico

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Mirjam Münch, Apiparn Borisuit, Chantal Basurto Dávila

The intensive use of daylight in buildings is beneficial at many levels: it provides sufficient levels of illumination to perform working activities throughout the day and it reduces the use of artificial light, which in turn leads to lower electricity con ...

Effects on subjective and objective alertness and sleep in response to evening light exposure in older subjects

Mirjam Münch

Evening bright light exposure is reported to ameliorate daytime sleepiness and age-related sleep complaints, and also delays the timing of circadian rhythms. We tested whether evening light exposure given to older adults with sleep–wake complaints would de ...

Genome-Wide and Phase-Specific DNA-Binding Rhythms of BMAL1 Control Circadian Output Functions in Mouse Liver

Felix Naef, Jacques Rougemont, Guillaume Rey

The mammalian circadian clock uses interlocked negative feedback loops in which the heterodimeric basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor BMAL1/CLOCK is a master regulator. While there is prominent control of liver functions by the circadian clock, the ...

Sex difference in the near-24-hour intrinsic period of the human circadian timing system

Mirjam Münch

The circadian rhythms of melatonin and body temperature are set to an earlier hour in women than in men, even when the women and men maintain nearly identical and consistent bedtimes and wake times. Moreover, women tend to wake up earlier than men and exhi ...

On the Relationship Between Protein-DNA Interactions and Circadian Gene Expression in Mouse Liver

Guillaume Rey

Virtually every cell in our body tracks daily time using an endogenous mechanism called the circadian clock, which has a period of about 24 hours. This timing system offers a selective advantage by enabling organisms to anticipate periodic changes in envir ...

Daylighting Metrics for Residential Buildings

Marilyne Andersen, Nicolas Roy

It is now widely accepted that the standard method for daylighting evaluation - the daylight factor – is due for replacement with metrics founded on absolute values for luminous quantities predicted over the course of a full year using sun and sky conditio ...

Daylight Variability and Contrast-Driven Architectural Effect

Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

Natural light is a dynamic and ephemeral tool for expressing the quality of architecturalspace. As a compliment to more traditional avenues of daylighting research that assess performance in terms of quantitative illuminance goals and glare-based discomfor ...

Daylight Exposure and Circadian Efficiency in Office Rooms Equipped with Anidolic Daylighting Systems

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Mirjam Münch, Friedrich Linhart

Anidolic Daylighting Systems (ADS) typically reduce the daylight flux reaching an office room‟s window section and increase it in the rear of the room. They offer interesting possibilities for the combination of comfortable daylighting and highly energy-ef ...
