Natural inspired color, light & materials integrated for physiological, psychological &/or behavioral responses.
(e.g., light fixtures that mimic sunrise/sunset patterns)

ENGAGEMENT

Research

CQAT used for color quality, luminous environment and circadian action factor varied with finishes (Kim et al., 2017)
Colored lighting affected perceptions (Odabaşioğlu & Olguntürk, 2015)
Preference for lighting including color temperature, color rendering changes with age & warm lighting use, consideration needed with older populations (Park & Farr, 2007)
Light shelf helpful for increased daylight access, control of blinds important (Sanati & Utzinger, 2013)
Perceptions of pleasurable lighting vary by culture (Park & Farr, 2007)
