Iluminação integrativa em ambientes residenciais: análise de projetos considerando os efeitos da iluminação natural e artificial no ciclo circadiano e conforto dos usuários

Abstract

This study analyzes how natural and artificial lighting, applied in residential architectural projects, can directly impact the health of occupants. The research emphasizes how an integrative approach to indoor lighting contributes to visual comfort and circadian cycle regulation, positively influencing the well-being of users. The aim of this study is to investigate efficient integrative lighting solutions for residential environments, based on the premises of the Morphological Diagram - an analysis tool aimed at harnessing natural light - and the Lucas Toobox, with an emphasis on evaluating the performance of lamps, artificial lighting and the well-being of users. The Design Science Research methodology was used to conduct this research, applying a bibliographic and documentary review in order to understand the concepts of architectural design as well as the concepts of natural and artificial lighting and their relationship with the circadian cycle and the well-being of the individual. The second stage involves analyzing a residential environment, assessing its current condition from the perspective of the impacts of natural and artificial lighting, based on an understanding of the concepts discussed. The contribution of this research consists of analyzing the use of natural lighting assessment tools that assist professionals in optimizing integrative lighting, with the aim of preserving the human biological rhythm.
