Post-Occupancy Evaluation of Office Lighting – What Can We Learn from Light-Dosimetry?

Marilyne Andersen, Steffen Lutz Hartmeyer

Integrative lighting design aims to support human health and wellbeing by considering the visual and nonvisual effects light has on building occupants. Given that nonvisual responses depend on the amount and pattern of light received at the eye over time, ...

A review of the effectiveness of metrics for assessing human responses to biophilic environments involving views, shading, and interior design elements

Marilyne Andersen, Zhujing Zhang

The characterization of biophilic environments, recognized for their potential to enhance well-being, requires researchers to have access to relevant metrics and methodologies when it comes to assessing this potential. Given the large diversity of well-bei ...

Clear vs. overcast: Effects of sky condition on daylit view perception in virtual reality

Marilyne Andersen, Caroline Karmann, Yunjoung Cho

This study investigates how changing sky conditions in window views influence visual perception in a virtual reality environment. Over two experimental sessions, participants viewed 10 distinct window scenes, each recorded as real-time videos under clear a ...

Perception of window views in VR: Impact of display and type of motion on subjective and physiological responses

Marilyne Andersen, Caroline Karmann, Yunjoung Cho

This study investigates the effect of dynamic and static representations of window views on visual perception in a virtual reality environment. Across two experimental sessions, participants were exposed to fifteen different views-out scenes of passive nat ...

Comparative analysis of LDR vs. HDR imaging: Quantifying luminosity variability and sky dynamics through complementary image processing techniques

Marilyne Andersen, Caroline Karmann, Yunjoung Cho, Dong Hyun Kim

This study introduces a novel procedure combining image analysis techniques to examine the temporal changes in natural light, a key aspect in daylighting and built environment research. Our approach utilizes both Low Dynamic Range (LDR) and High Dynamic Ra ...

Daylight and carbon interactions: An explorative method to reconcile daylight performance and carbon budget constraints

Marilyne Andersen, Nazanin Rezaei Oghazi

Existing daylight standards encourage larger glazed areas, which often results in larger solar gains in the summer and heat losses in the winter. To avoid these, shadings, thicker frames and multiple panes of glass are required to respect operational energ ...

Applying Visible Difference Prediction to View Visibility

Marilyne Andersen, Stephen William Wasilewski

This paper presents a preliminary model for relating the optical characteristics of different dynamic shading systems to the visibility of the view through these systems. View visibility is dependent on the optical properties of the façade, the incident li ...

Identification of Spectral Distributions in Light-Dosimetry Data: Methodology and Application to an Intervention Field Study

Marilyne Andersen, Steffen Lutz Hartmeyer

Modern life in predominantly indoor environments has led to a profound alteration in the amount, spectral distribution, and pattern of light humans are exposed to daily. Given the role of light in health and well-being, and to understand how modern living ...

T-Shaped Interdisciplinarity: A Model for Applied Research?

Marilyne Andersen

Challenges ahead: how the conduct of research needs to change The emergence of scientific discovery at the interface of disciplinary fields is not necessarily driven by the academic system - rather, discovery happens despite it. Marilyne Andersen (EPFL) co ...
