Exploration on Research Methods for Exploring Human Response to Luminous Environment with Chromogenic Windows Applied

摘要

Chromogenic windows enable both energy-saving and daylighting regulation. However, the human response to the luminous environment affected by them is difficult to test, since their features of dynamic change and tinting automatically. This study explores the research methods, including experimental design and statistical analysis, by literature review and an experiment demonstration. The results show that a proper size of the test room is significant to obtain desired data, and the advanced VR technologies have the potential to be applied for testing these dynamic variables. Bayesian approaches are recommended to be tried and get more accurate interference about the experimental results.
