Book Visual and Non Visual Effects of Light

Download or read book Visual and Non Visual Effects of Light written by Agnieszka Wolska and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-07-29 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of artificial lighting extends the time of wakefulness after dark and enables work at night, thus disturbing the human circadian rhythm. The understanding of the physiological mechanisms of visual and non-visual systems may be important for the development and use of proper light infrastructure and light interventions for different workplace settings, especially for shift work conditions. Visual and Non-Visual Effects of Light: Working Environment and Well-Being presents the impact of lighting in the working environment on human health, well-being and visual performance. The physiological explanation of the visual and non-visual effects of light on humans which discusses the biological bases of image and non-image forming vision at the cellular level may be of particular interest to any professional in the field of medicine, physiology, and biology. It is one of the intentions of this book to put forward some recommendations and examples of lighting design which take into account both the visual and non-visual effects of light on humans. These may be of particular interest to any professional in the field of lighting, occupational safety and health, and interior design. "What effects on health can a light ‘overdose’ or light deficiency have? What is bad light? The authors of the monograph provide answers to these questions. Just as for a physicist, the dual nature of light comprises an electromagnetic wave and a photon, the duality of light for a physician comprises visual and non-visual effects." --------------------------------------------------------Prof Jacek Przybylski, Medical University of Warsaw "This is a unique publication in the field of lighting technology. The authors have skillfully combined both the technical and biomedical aspects involved, which is unprecedented in the literature available. As a result, an important study has been created for many professional groups, with a significant impact on the assessment of risks associated with LED sources." --------------------------------------------Prof Andrzej Zając, Military University of Technology, Warsaw

Book excerpt: Humans now spend over 90% of their time indoors (EPA, 1989). This means that daily light exposure is at an all time low. There are serious health implications from the shift of evolutionary alignment with the rhythms of natural daylight to an interior environment that may have no connection to outdoor conditions. Circadian light is light that has an intended biological impact on the human circadian system. There is enough evidence that demonstrates the benefits of higher illuminance levels during key times of the day. Yet much of contemporary discourse has been focused on circadian light metrics without data on how meeting circadian light thresholds may affect occupant satisfaction and visual comfort. There is a gap between the scientific evidence and application strategies for designers and practitioners. This thesis examines the relationship between different circadian lighting design guidelines, the assessment organizations they come from, and the research they are based on. A significant inquiry into environmental assessment organizations is made that examines lighting related requirements and credits, as well as post occupancy evaluations of buildings and spaces. A simulation is performed to demonstrate the minimal decrease in energy use consumption from reduced illuminance levels. This along with occupant satisfaction data confirm that current interior lighting strategies do not provide overwhelming occupant satisfaction or significant energy reductions. This thesis makes the argument that circadian light should take on a larger role in the specification of luminaries and lighting design. A case is made for making knowledge of circadian lighting more accessible to designers and practitioners
