Designing healthy and efficient luminous environments in Green Buildings

该项目旨在研究澳大利亚绿色建筑中室内照明、视觉舒适度和办公室员工幸福感之间的关系。在亚热带气候的绿色商业建筑中，大约50%的工人报告说，玻璃外墙和发光二极管（led）造成了视觉不适。视觉不适会影响人们的表现。它还可能由于用户的干预而增加能源消耗，导致设计意图和最终结果之间明显不匹配。该项目旨在将发光环境与居住者的反应联系起来，并使用一种新颖的工具，通过智能手机捕捉发光环境的物理和心理特性。结果应该是一个视觉舒适的预测模型，为更好的建筑设计。

This project aims to investigate the relationship between indoor lighting, visual comfort, and office workers’ wellbeing for green buildings in Australia. Around 50 per cent of workers in green commercial buildings in subtropical climates have reported visual discomfort from glass facades and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Visual discomfort could affect people’s performance. It could also increase energy consumption due to users’ interventions, causing a clear mismatch between design intent and final results. The project aims to relate the luminous environment to occupant responses and to use a novel tool for capturing physical and psychological properties of luminous environments through smart phones. The outcome should be a predictive model of visual comfort for better design of buildings.
