“…15 Además, la incorporación de sistemas y estrategias de LN ayuda a reducir el consumo eléctrico y mejora la calidad de uso del espacio interior. [16][17][18][19][20] Para maximizar estos beneficios, el aporte de LN debe planificarse cuidadosamente, ya que existen problemas asociados al ingreso de luz solar sin controlar: dificulta la realización de tareas visuales (deslumbramiento, reflejos en pantallas, manchas de luz), afecta al confort visual y térmico, y contiene radiación indeseada (infrarroja, ultravioleta).…”

“…15 In addition, the use of NL systems and strategies helps reduce power consumption and improves interior space quality of use. [16][17][18][19][20] To maximize these benefits, NL contribution should be carefully planned, as there are problems associated with uncontrolled sunlight´s entrance: it interferes visual performance (glaring, screen reflections, spots of light), it affects visual and thermal comfort, and has unwanted radiation (infrared, ultraviolet).…”

Achieving adequate lighting in neonatal intensive care units is a major challenge: in addition to the usual considerations of visual performance, cost, energy and aesthetics, there appear different biological needs of patients, health care providers and family members. Communicational aspects of light, its role as a facilitator of the visual function of doctors and nurses, and its effects on the newborn infant physiology and development were addressed in order to review the effects of light (natural and artificial) within neonatal care with a focus on development. The role of light in regulating the newborn infant circadian cycle in particular and the therapeutic use of light in general were also reviewed. For each aspect, practical recommendations were specified for a proper well-lit environment in neonatal intensive care units.

“…These studies have shown that individuals working in natural sunlight are more productive, more effective, and happier than those who work under traditional artificial light. In addition, several studies have demonstrated a connection between environmental lighting levels and higher productivity and better performance from building occupants [6,7]. Natural changes in daylight balance the body's circadian rhythm, which determines sleeping and eating patterns, cognitive activity, heart rate, hormone levels -in fact, virtually all physiological and behavioral parameters.…”

Indoor Ecology (IE) is an emerging research field that aims to develop new approaches and technologies which allow indoor environments and occupants to dynamically co-adapt to each other in order to enhance human wellbeing and productivity while simultaneously optimizing energy efficiency. The central idea in IE is that humans, building systems and the interior environment form a single, integrated complex 'ecosystem'. One way to IE optimization is though lighting, especially daylighting and daylight simulation. Current approaches to energy-efficient buildings emphasize only limited aspects of interior lighting, such as the carbon footprint, without regard to the multiple effects lighting has on human health, wellbeing and productivity which must be considered if truly sustainable interior spaces are to be designed. This paper documents five ongoing investigations which study various aspects of the lighting-human interaction in a variety of circumstances. For example, students in the classroom setting are exposed to wide changes in lighting as well as inadequate light during early classes, likely affecting attention, retention and performance. Subjects displayed a marked preference for natural lighting when given the option; supporting a general hypothesis that daylighting might be a solution to the twin problems of promoting health and productivity while decreasing energy use.
