Why is it important?
The purpose of the installed circadian lighting was to improve the staff and residents’ health and comfort.
Perspectives
This paper demonstrates the value of applying mixed methods when analyzing subjective assessment of light and visual comfort. We present an alternative card sorting method for studying perceptions of a 24-hour lighting application. Finally, the study demonstrates the value of evaluating the lighting with end-users after two years in use to improve future lighting installations and to adjust the current installation.
