   Abstract : Nowadays, people spend 90% of their time indoors, thus creating a healthy indoor environment for occupants is of great importance. Lighting in office spaces is an important aspect when it comes to occupant health and well-being. READ MORE

6. 10. Lighting Evaluation and Design for the Stockholm Metro System Based on Current Models for Non-visual Responses

   University essay from KTH/Ljusdesign

   Author : Tong Liu; [2020]
   Keywords : Non-visual Effects; Circadian Lighting; Equivalent Melanopic Lux EML ; Circadian Stimulus CS ; Melanopic Equivalent Daylight Illuminance M-EDI ; Stockholm Metro System; Light-Emitting Diode LED ;

   Abstract : Light has a wide and profound non-visual impact on the human body. It is related to the suppression or synthesis of a hormone called melatonin which regulates the human circadian clock. In Nordic countries like Sweden, lack of natural light in winter may lead to negative health effects such as circadian disorders or depression. READ MORE
