Summary
This paper discusses the design and development of a sustainable, environmentally friendly, and human-centric luminaire that regulates the biological rhythm of office occupants and has minimal environmental impact.
Categories
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the design and development of a luminaire that emits variable spectrum light, considering human centric lighting metrics, energy efficiency, and visual comfort.
Alertness and performance: The paper discusses how light affects alertness and performance by regulating the secretion of hormones like cortisol and melatonin.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses how light affects the secretion of hormones like cortisol and melatonin, which are involved in regulating the human biological rhythm.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how light affects brain activity, which is related to cognitive function and memory.
Well-being: The paper discusses how the proposed luminaire can provide a holistic approach to lighting design that integrates both visual and non-visual effects, contributing to overall well-being.
