Abstract
Light is just for seeing. Well, this is an old concept. Nowadays, we realise that light is needed for many other things such as synchronizing our non-visual system. Non-visual systems include the circadian rhythm, which, in turn, regulates our biological and physiological systems, as well as influences our emotional state and, therefore, plays a crucial role in our wellbeing. So, why do we keep on projecting workplaces with only 200/500 lx? This paper’s objective is to study the “do’s and don’ts” of a lighting design in a workplace design. To achieve such goals the research was conducted throughout literature review. We conclude that it is more rewarding for the companies that increase and decrease the light levels all over the day and should promote healthier human beings, which in turn will become more motivated, happier and will contribute for the good results of the company profits.
