“…Occupants' IF and NIF responses/requirements are different regarding hourly/ seasonally photoperiods and different activities in the building. [32][33][34] A proper intensity and chromaticity of light at the right time must be provided to occupants. 20,35 NIF responses of occupants have recently been addressed in the context of built environments, 20,29,36 whereas the IF responses have been widely studied.…”

This paper develops an integrated design framework of adaptive building façades (ABFs) to respond to photobiological and thermal needs of occupants, biophilic factors, energy requirements and climatic features in Northern Canada, i.e. near and above 50°N. The paper discusses the importance of biophilic and photobiological factors and ABFs to improve occupants’ health and human–nature relations and deal with the extreme climate in Northern Canada where non-adapted buildings that could negatively affect occupants’ well-being. The paper shows that existing ABFs must be further developed for northern applications in terms of (i) the physical structure and configuration of components, (ii) the design of solar shading/louver panels to address photobiological and biophilic requirements, (iii) the development of lighting adaptation scenarios to respond to biophilic and photobiological needs, local photoperiods and energy issues and (iv) the overall biophilic quality for accessibility to natural patterns. The ABFs’ framework was developed in three phases including: (1) process environmental data, (2) produce adaptation scenarios and (3) operate adaptation scenarios. The research discussed major issues of all phases that must be further studied, especially the development of hourly/daily/seasonally lighting adaptation scenarios. The paper develops a holistic parametric methodology to integrate and optimize major design variables of ABF’s components.

“…One of the key elements of emerging healthcare lighting design is circadian wellness. [1][2][3] Our circadian rhythm is synchronized with the 24-hour cycle and triggered by natural periods of light and dark. It has been proven that exposure to short-wavelength 'blue' light at night can upset our hormonal balance leading to sleep disturbance and other adverse health effects.…”

In this work we describe the technology employed to develop a second generation high efficiency amber OLED panel for the healthcare industry. The significant difference between this and the first generation offering is that the new product utilizes phosphorescent emitting materials, resulting in 60 lm/W power efficacy. Additionally, long lifetime and good uniformity was achieved by stacking of multiple emissive layers. Development of this amber product utilized extensive reliability and qualification testing including usage of modern statistical methodologies to ensure a robust product with excellent quality.

Lighting is crucial for vision and has important effects beyond vision, influencing a variety of physiological and behavioral processes. When designing lighting, visual aspects, effects beyond vision, and perception of the environment should be considered together in a holistic approach. As humans evolved under daylight, a lighting protocol, based on a room context and daylight characteristics, was developed and described. The lighting, with customized light levels, spectral composition and light distribution that changed dynamically to evoke a perception of daylight conditions, was realized using commercially available luminaires and a digital control system. The resulting lighting conditions are described by measurements

Light for Life: Emerging Opportunities and Challenges for Using Light to Influence Well‐Being

Abstract: Both lighting technology and our understanding of the relationship between light and human health have advanced rapidly in recent years. The latter needs to be carefully evaluated, particularly as longer‐lasting light sources enter the market.
