Daylighting: Prediction of Circadian Effects of Different Spectral Filters

Article Preview

Abstract:

The study presented in this article aims to evaluate in which extent the interior colour surfaces affects human circadian stimulus. Experimental measurements in model rooms were evaluated by methods presented in studies by Rea et al. [1-3]. Even by high levels of daylight illuminances the colour of interior surfaces influences circadian stimulus, but this effect is not significant. Diminishing of circadian efficacy increases with application of dark blue-deficient colours of interior surfaces and by low intensity of daylight.
