| dc.description.abstract | Daylight is essential to human productivity. It has been shown that if we do not receive enough daylight, our health and well-being is negatively affected. However, an overabundance of daylight into the indoors can make performing with computer-based visual tasks difficult and uncomfortable due to glare. This study is a collaboration with SRG Partnership, an Architecture firm in Portland, OR, to analyze their own workspace in determining optimal amounts of daylight as an occupant-centric circadian resource in the office. The historic office space has large south-east-facing windows that can be a source of glare, which negatively affects productivity, and are controlled manually with motorized shades. Participating occupants were given a wearable light sensor to track the light levels received throughout the day over the course of one work week. Sunshade use was also monitored and recorded. | en_US |
