Daylighting, Architecture and Health examines the relationship between
natural light in buildings and human health, considering both
psychological and physiological issues and bringing together a range of
research in the field.
As we are becoming increasingly conscious of global warming and pushing
towards energy efficiency in buildings, the book examines the question
of daylighting from the perspective of the health of building occupants.
It gathers and reviews all the latest and pertinent medical and
architectural research related to natural light, or lack thereof, and
its effect on people.
* Documents medical research findings which establish a link between
light quality and health
* Considers design strategies for increasing daylight in buildings
* Develops understanding and awareness of the importance of natural
light in buildings
Daylighting, Architecture and Health: Building Design Strategies is a
timely and essential text for professional architects and all others
concerned with the effects of daylighting on health, architecture and
building design.
