VIAVISION - A WEB GUIDE FOR EFFICIENT LIGHTING DESIGN BY UNDERSTANDING OF VISUAL PERCEPTION

摘要

The project aims to create an IT solution that describes the principles of visual perception tailored to lighting design. The website will show visualizations that in a clear fashion shows the relationships between light and colour contrast, and our human vision and how these principles can be applied in different environments. The knowledge is equally useful for individuals as for people that in their professions have different roles in lighting planning, architecture and structural engineering. The website will be an open platform for the dissemination of knowledge on the topic and serve as both a tool, a reference and a complementary basis for decisions. An expected effect is that the knowledge on the subject will be spread also generate an increased need for professional competence. The ambition is that the web guide will show that it is more profitable to invest in a well though out lighting plan tailored to human needs than not to. By placing the right amount of light in the right place both health and general wellbeing are affected positively and energy consumption can thus be more effective and perhaps even reduced. The project is still ongoing and in the fall, a first prototype of the web guide be completed.. After that the goal is that it will continue to evolve with new features and services.
