Daylighting, Architecture and Health

An essential read for all whose work impinges on daylighting practice, Daylighting, Architecture and Health: Building Design Strategies examines research into daylighting and health, and its implications for architecture and building design. On average, people spend 90% of their life indoors. This is the first book to examine the specific impact on human health of levels of natural light in buildings, bringing together a range of findings in the field into one accessible publication. Documenting medical research findings that establish the link between light quality and human health, and considering design strategies for increasing daylight in buildings, the book develops a nuanced understanding and awareness of the importance of natural light in buildings for architects and building professionals.
