| Conference | IES Research Symposium II: Light + Behavior – Light’s Influence on Human Behavior, April 6-8, 2014, Cleveland, OH, USA |
|---|
| Abstract | In April 2014 the Illuminating Engineering Society held its second research symposium on the topic of “Light and Behavior”. Behavior is the output produced by people in response to physical and social stimulation. Lighting can certainly change the physical stimulation experienced by people so it is certainly one of the many factors that affect human behavior. Whereas the effects of lighting on visibility are well understood, how lighting changes human behavior is not; however, it is widely believed that different lighting conditions can influence work performance, individual comfort, safety, health and well-being and the overall quality of life. In an innovative format, speakers representing the design and research perspectives discussed their approaches to lighting for education, outdoor environment or healthcare applications. The designers presented examples of the issues they face in designing for the application and the researchers discussed the latest findings relevant to the application. This article is a summary of the symposium based on the authors' expertise, and includes research questions and new directions arising from the discussions over the two days of stimulating presentations and discussion. |
