Summary
This paper discusses the thermal and spectral impact of building integrated Mirrored Light Pipe to human circadian rhythms and thermal environment, focusing on the device's potential for the human circadian cycle compared to traditional artificial lighting sources.
Categories
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the design and implementation of Mirrored Light Pipe in buildings, and its impact on the thermal and spectral environment.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the impact of light on human circadian rhythms, which are linked to cognitive function and memory.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the impact of light on the regulation of melatonin, a hormone that affects sleep and wakefulness.
Well-being: The paper discusses the potential benefits of natural light for human well-being, including cognitive performance, comfort, and health.
