  2. 1. Supporting evidence-based design using lighting simulations : A framework for lighting simulation of visual comfort in building design

    Author : Anahita Davoodi; Myriam Aries; Peter Johansson; Thorbjörn Laike; John Mardaljevic; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lighting quality; visual comfort; lighting simulation; evidence-based design; field study; post-occupancy evaluation; Ljuskvalitet; visuell komfort; ljussimulering; evidensbaserad design; fältstudie; brukarutvärderingar;

    Abstract : This research aims to integrate lighting simulation into the evidence-based design process for achieving improved lighting outcomes in built environments with a particular emphasis on visual comfort analysis in office settings. The objectives of the study include 1) understanding the current usage of lighting simulation tools, learning designers’ experiences' and needs, 2) providing a conceptual framework to integrate the use of lighting simulation in the evidence-based design (EBD) process, 3) testing the usage of the conceptual framework (named EBD-SIM) through two field studies.

  4. 2. Lighting simulation for a more value-driven building design process

    Author : Anahita Davoodi; Thorbjörn Laike; Peter Johansson; Annika Moscati; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : lighting simulation; lighting design; lighting quality; energy efficiency; perception;

    Abstract : Concerns about global warming are increasing, hence, the urgency to cut carbon emissions. Reducing energy consumption, including lighting energy, is seen as the primary solution. Yet, solving the environmental factor should not come at the cost of other pillars of sustainable development. READ MORE

  5. 3. Urban outdoor lighting : Pedestrian perception, evaluation and behaviour in the lit environment

    Author : Johan Rahm; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Outdoor lighting; Street lighting; Pedestrian; Walking; Walkability; Perceived safety; Urban design; Perception; Environmental psychology; Elderly; Mobility;

    Abstract : Walking plays an essential role in sustainable transport systems, as nearly all journeys in the urban environment incorporate walking in one way or another. In parts of the world, for long periods of the year, seasonal variation in daylight hours means that pedestrians must rely on outdoor lighting to make cities accessible after dark. READ MORE

  6. 4. Light Design : Outdoor Urban Public Places : - Urban Lighting: Design and Technologies -

    Author : José Nuno Sampaio; Björn-Erik Erlandsson; Izael Pereira Da Silva; KTH; []
    Keywords : Light-based Technologies and Design; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

    Abstract : Most of the present time outdoor lighting investments seem to be focused on road and automotive traffic facilities or oriented toward safety, security and efficiency. We can identify this in many of the world cities, as a globally spread common practice, where lighting is still highly perceived as a pure matter of quantities’ distribution.

  7. 5. Complicated Shadows : the Aesthetic Significance of Simulated Illumination in Digital Games

    Author : Simon Niedenthal; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Interaction design; Game design; Game studies; Game aesthetics; Game lighting; Lighting design;

    Abstract : A common feature of many digital games is that they are played in a simulated 3D environment, a game world. Simulated illumination is the lighting designed into a game world. This thesis explores the influence of simulated illumination in digital games upon the emotion and behavior of the player. READ MORE
