Light has been shown to have a non-visual impact on the biological aspects of human
health, particularly on circadian rhythms. Building windows are a potential means of …

Light affects many aspects of human physiology, through the non-image-forming (NIF)
pathway. To account for this pathway, lighting design simulation tools need to combine …

Light meets the visual needs of the human body through the visual channel, and guides the
physiological system of the human body to synchronize with the cycle of luminous …

Various environmental, architectural, and individual factors other than quantity and quality of
light, affect pupils' visual comfort in the classrooms. The simultaneous effect of these factors …

In the early phases of building design, it is essential to quantify the relevance of passive
design measures in order to assure the desired thermal performance of buildings throughout …

Due to the changes in the modern human lifestyle, the average time people spend in interior
spaces has increased, which calls attention to providing appropriate indoor lighting. Many …

Climate change is expected to expose the locked-in overheating risk concerning bioclimatic
buildings adapted to a specific past climate state. The study aims to find energy-efficient …

Beyond vision, light influences human circadian rhythms and buildings' energy
consumption. Design solutions are needed to satisfy visual and circadian requirements …

A growing area of research focuses on the relationship between ocular light exposure and
the non-visual responses. In order to accelerate research on this topic and improve building …

The difference between the functioning of the human non-visual and photopic systems has
elicited the need for complex in situ measurements or time-consuming multi-spectral …
