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

Download or read book Human Dimension and Interior Space written by Julius Panero and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of human body measurements on a comparative basis is known as anthropometrics. Its applicability to the design process is seen in the physical fit, or interface, between the human body and the various components of interior space. Human Dimension and Interior Space is the first major anthropometrically based reference book of design standards for use by all those involved with the physical planning and detailing of interiors, including interior designers, architects, furniture designers, builders, industrial designers, and students of design. The use of anthropometric data, although no substitute for good design or sound professional judgment should be viewed as one of the many tools required in the design process. This comprehensive overview of anthropometrics consists of three parts. The first part deals with the theory and application of anthropometrics and includes a special section dealing with physically disabled and elderly people. It provides the designer with the fundamentals of anthropometrics and a basic understanding of how interior design standards are established. The second part contains easy-to-read, illustrated anthropometric tables, which provide the most current data available on human body size, organized by age and percentile groupings. Also included is data relative to the range of joint motion and body sizes of children. The third part contains hundreds of dimensioned drawings, illustrating in plan and section the proper anthropometrically based relationship between user and space. The types of spaces range from residential and commercial to recreational and institutional, and all dimensions include metric conversions. In the Epilogue, the authors challenge the interior design profession, the building industry, and the furniture manufacturer to seriously explore the problem of adjustability in design. They expose the fallacy of designing to accommodate the so-called average man, who, in fact, does not exist. Using government data, including studies prepared by Dr. Howard Stoudt, Dr. Albert Damon, and Dr. Ross McFarland, formerly of the Harvard School of Public Health, and Jean Roberts of the U.S. Public Health Service, Panero and Zelnik have devised a system of interior design reference standards, easily understood through a series of charts and situation drawings. With Human Dimension and Interior Space, these standards are now accessible to all designers of interior environments.

Download or read book Art Design Communication and Fashion An Interdisciplinary Approach written by Prof. Dr. Anna MELNIKOVA and published by GLOBAL ACADEMY YAYINCILIK VE DANIŞMANLIK HİZMETLERİ SANAYİ TİCARET LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface Art, Design, Communication and Fashion: An Interdisciplinary Approach; is a thought-provoking book for academics, researchers, doctoral students and policymakers interested in fine arts, design, fashion and the field, providing valuable information on contemporary issues in art, design, fashion. In this book; the first chapter aims to prepare pre-service teachers while serving the community by addressing the previously identified needs with an emphasis on the pedagogical methodology of service learning (S-L). S-L is different from volunteering and internships. In this context, the process of implementing S-L at the Royal Conservatory of Music of Granada is described. Popular culture is defined as a way of life that the majority of people in society live or will live. In the second chapter, visual art teachers' views on popular culture and approaches in classrooms are investigated. The third chapter highlights the potential for strategically designed systems, known as circadian lighting, to have a beneficial impact on people's health, alertness, productivity, and more. Since the fourth chapter is about holistic knowledge of the design process in fashion design, which is one of the fundamental skills for any graduate in the field, it is aimed to diagnose the curricular knowledge of the graduates of fashion design at the Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN) - Caicó campus in the context of the idea that the student of Fashion Design should have a theoretical and practical mastery of the contents. Also this chapter aims to diagnose the level of mastery of curricular content by undergraduates in Fashion Design at IFRN – Caicó. The fifth chapter explains whether the materials of cardboard boxes and umbrellas can be recycled in fashion, as well as whether a garment can be created from the materials, in the context of economic, environmental and social sustainability concepts. The sixth chapter provides examples of how the artist uses symbols to convey a message of protection and attract attention. In general, considerations in the context of mythology studies include a close analysis of works of art that use mythological themes and symbols to represent ecosystems, and an assessment of the cultural and historical contexts in which these works of art were created. It is thought that this chapter will contribute to the ongoing study of how art fits into a broader tradition of mythical representations of natural environments and environmentalism in art. The seventh chapter discusses some sustainable design products, taking into account the importance given to the product life cycle in Portugal in the context of developing products with national and environmentally friendly materials that have the agreed-upon value for material culture. The authors of this book present a wealth of literature and research that will contribute to an understanding of the role of decision-makers and international organizations in the field of fine art in promoting growth and development. The book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning about the most recent trends and emerging issues in the fine art field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The availability of electric lighting has changed the lives of people the world over and lighting is a major consumer of energy, yet little has been written about the forms of lighting that can alter human visual capabilities and enhance productivity, ensure comfort and create appropriate lighting conditions. It is important to understand the forms of lighting available, and their appropriateness to specific activities, in order to apply the technology most effectively. This book is a comprehensive review of the interaction of people and lighting and supercedes the author's classic Human Factors in Lighting. The technology has changed markedly in recent years with the introduction of new light sources and new methods of light distribution. The significance of specialist lighting applications, such as photobiology, are now becoming better understood. The nature of work itself has changed, and hence so have lighting requirements. Equally, the development of the technology has created new opportunities for improving peoples' work and leisure environments.

Download or read book Augmented Light written by Bukola Badipe-Hart and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Light has an innate ability to impact the physiological state of human beings. Although, modern day architecture hasmade immense strides in lighting design, little has been done to leverage this unique characteristic of light. A growing body of research has successfully qualified these non-quantitative effects of light into a new conceptual framework called the Human Centric Lighting Model. This new model considers the impacts of interior lighting as threefold: Visual, Biological and Emotional. Working within this new framework, this thesis explores the possibility of creating richer interior experiences by leveraging current day lighting and sensor technology in hopes of enrichening the rudimentarydialogue between interior and exterior lighting. Additionally, it considers technology’s role in shaping future cities as virtually augmented spaces that intermix physical and virtual components to create a new kind of urban environment that is shaped as much by physical architecture as it is by informational and cultural; these cities exist as physical places with augmented digital overlays. It aims to assist architecture in resolving the growing tension between physical and virtual spaces by re-establishing the role of the window as a liminal point of transition between not only interior and exterior space but physical and virtual as well.
Download or read book Daylighting and electric lighting retrofit solutions written by Aktuna, Berat and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy efficient lighting is said to be one of the most cost-effective approaches to save energy and reduce C02 emissions. In order to stimulate the application of lighting retrofits of good quality, IEA Task 50, Subtask B “Daylighting and Electric Lighting solutions” has looked into the assessment of existing and new technical retrofit solutions in the field of façade and daylighting technology, electric lighting and lighting controls. The document provides information for those involved in the development of retrofit products or involved in the decision making process of a retrofit project, such as buildings owners, authorities, designers and consultants, as well as the lighting and façade industry. This source book addresses both electric lighting solu¬tions and daylighting solutions, and offers a method to compare these retrofit solutions on a common basis, including a wide range of quality criteria of cost-related and lighting quality aspects. Simple retrofits, such as replacing a lamp or adding interior blinds, are widely accepted, often applied because of their low initial costs or short payback periods. The work presented in this report aims at promoting state-of-the-art and new lighting retrofit approaches that might cost more but offer a further reduction of energy consumption while improving lighting quality to a greater extend. Energieeffiziente Beleuchtung ist eine der effektivsten Möglichkeiten, Energie zu sparen und damit die Emission von CO2 zu vermindern. Im Rahmen des IEA Task 50, Subtask B “Daylighting and Electric Lighting solutions” wurden daher neue und vorhandene technische Sanierungslösungen für Gebäude in den Bereichen Fassade, Tageslichttechnik, künstliche Beleuchtung sowie Lichtsteuerung bewertet, um die Anwendung hochwertiger Lösungen voranzutreiben. Die Informationen sind dabei für alle in den Sanierungsprozess einbezogenen Personen von großem Interesse, wie z. B. Gebäudeeigentümer, Behörden, Planer und Berater aber auch für Hersteller und Entwickler von Beleuchtungs- und Fassadenlösungen. Betrachtet werden sowohl künstliche als auch Beleuchtungslösungen mit Tageslicht, wobei eine Methode entwickelt wurde, die Sanierungslösungen grundlegend miteinander zu vergleichen. Hierbei werden zahlreiche Kriterien berücksichtigt, die energetische, lichttechnische, thermische und kostenbezogene Aspekte beinhalten. Einfache Sanierungsmaßnahmen wie der Austausch von Lampen oder die Montage innenliegender Jalousien werden weitgehend akzeptiert und oft verwendet, da sie kostengünstig sind und sich schnell amortisieren. Die vorliegende Arbeit hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, die Anwendung neuer und dem Stand der Technik entsprechender Beleuchtungslösungen für die Sanierung zu fördern. Diese verursachen zwar eventuell höhere Kosten, ermöglichen jedoch eine weitere Energieeinsparung bei gleichzeitiger Verbesserung der Beleuchtungsqualität.

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
