ABSTRACT:
Light is the major synchronizer of circadian rhythms to the 24-hour solar day. Compared to the visual system, the circadian system requires more light to be activated and is more sensitive to shortwavelength light. Daylighting is an ideal light source for circadian entrainment, especially for educational use. Architectural and design features, including window size and room reflectances, impact circadian stimulus levels. DAYSIM simulations were used to determine the average circadian stimulation that students in classrooms would receive as a function of different window-to-façade ratios, window position and room reflectances. The present paper provides a tool to assist designers with choice of fenestration and interior design to promote circadian entrainment.
