The influence of lighting in the build environment: a study to analyse human behaviour and perception as measured by mood and observation

My research involves understanding human movement through lighting. For ages people have been attracted by light, either by fire, candles or more recently lamp bulbs. Out of this point of view the question arose whether humans are influenceable in the way they move in the build environment, retail environments in this case, guided through lighting. Hence, the first focus of the study lies on how humans behave (move) under certain lighting conditions: way-finding as well as their walking speed are included. The second focus of this study lies more in how humans perceive that space under certain lighting conditions, on a more emotional based approach. The experiments are currently and in the next few months held in a controlled environment, which is a simulation of a supermarket. In a next stage the results will be validated in real settings. Together with the theoretical background, already developed, the results of these experiments will give a clear view on the how humans move through space and how they perceive space, by the manipulation of lighting.
