This section provides a summary of the Hazards Vulnerability Assessment pilot process to date and a review of the lessons learned for the process. The summary presents our approach to Hazards Vulnerability with respect to ...
Measurements of human attitudes and perceptions have traditionally used numerical point judgments. In the present study, we compared conventional point estimates of weight with an interval judgment method. Participants ...
Rockcastle, Siobhan; L. Ámundadóttir, María; Andersen, Marilyne(Institute for Health in the Built Environment, University of Oregon, 2018-06)
This paper introduces an interactive web-based visualizer for
multi-metric daylight simulation results, named OCUVIS. It
is able to display simulation-based results for a diverse range
of ocular human-centric metrics ...

Over the last several decades, designers have used digital screens to view images of real and simulated spaces and make critical design decisions. Screen technology has improved during this time, as technologies like OLED ...
Rockcastle, Siobhan; Carlberg, Hadley; Esmailian, Maryam; Lovísa Ámundadóttir, María(Institute for Health in the Built Environment, University of Oregon, 2023-09)
This paper builds on previous efforts to evaluate and compare dynamic light-exposure profiles over time and throughout space. This paper examines two office-floor plans through the eye-level exposure of 10 representative ...
Rockcastle, Siobhan; Mahic, Alen; Safranek, Sarah(Institute for Health in the Built Environment, University of Oregon, 2023-09)
This paper introduces a simulation-based workflow to
assess annual circadian lighting performance, glare risk
and energy demand for an array of seated view positions
under operated shading and electric lighting ...
