Simulations of non-image-forming effects of light in building design:A literature review
Light affects many aspects of human physiology, through the non-image-forming (NIF) pathway. To account for this pathway, lighting design simulation tools need to combine several luminous and temporal factors to predict how architectural and lighting design decisions affect eye-level light exposure. Based on a systematic literature review, containing 55 journal and conference papers, the state-of-the-art towards implementing lighting beyond vision in computer simulation workflows for building design is presented. The review shows that, while interest in simulating the NIF effects of light on people is increasing, there is not a common method to perform these simulations. Gaps were identified in the currently available simulation workflows in relation to metrics, software and approaches for predicting NIF effects of light in the context of the building design.
