“…Different studies have identified lighting as one of the major factors that influence occupants' performance in indoor environments [8,9,56]. For instance [21] has identified tasks, such as reading speed and comprehension [62,64], object location and identification, and writing as highly affected by illuminance, amount of glare, and spectrum of light.…”

“…Age, gender, race, and cultural differences between occupants' comfort and behavior have been established [82,[99][100][101]; thus, researchers should take care to report these traits for the sake of those who apply the resulting model. Ultimately, sample size should be chosen such that minimal additional information is obtained by adding another participant.…”

a b s t r a c tOccupant behavior is now widely recognized as a major contributing factor to uncertainty of building performance. While a surge of research on the topic has occurred over the past four decades, and particularly the past few years, there are many gaps in knowledge and limitations to current methodologies. This paper outlines the state-of-the-art research, current obstacles and future needs and directions for the following four-step iterative process: (1) occupant monitoring and data collection, (2) model development, (3) model evaluation, and (4) model implementation into building simulation tools. Major themes include the need for greater rigor in experimental methodologies; detailed, honest, and candid reporting of methods and results; and development of an efficient means to implement occupant behavior models and integrate them into building energy modeling programs.

In this paper we present an interactive lighting and sound art installation designed for the elderly with dementia living in an confined area in an elderly care center. Inspired by lighting and music therapies for dementia, as well as the social and cultural activities of healthy elderly, the installation creates sensory stimulation and natural atmosphere, aiming at bringing joy and happiness to dementia elderly in a dull public space.
