Research Focus
Light equity questions how health disparities can be amplified by job position and prolonged time spent in different offices/lighting conditions.
MY ROLE
My role includes designing the office spaces in which the simulations took place, as well as leading the diagrammatic analysis and co-authoring the scientific journal article.
OFFICE WITH COURTYARD
There are 3 design variations: a square, a rectangle, and a square-courtyard building. Two sky conditions will be measured: cloudy vs. full sun, and behavioral studies will assess how the hierarchy of jobs affect people’s overall health. We will assess occupants and spaces by the WELL Standard.
