Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics
Light laboratories for experimental studies on the physiological and psychological effects of light
Energy Efficiency and Indoor Climate
| Measurement | Performance and user acceptance studies on the physiological and psychological effects of light, testing new lighting concepts, such as context-sensitive lighting, integral investigations of indoor climate, lighting and acoustics |
| Measurement objects | Test group studies, computer workstations, light management systems, lighting systems |
Technical data
| Lighting system | Efficient LED lighting of the entire room, subdivided into several separately controllable zones Algorithm-supported choice of the color point or color of light taking the color rendering into account |
| Illuminance | Up to 2000 lux, directly and indirectly |
| Color of light | RGB saturated colors or white from 2000 K to over 15,000 K, CRI 90 at white light |
Special features
| Light control | Real-time consideration of numerous user-related factors (position in space, direction of view, activity, age, preferences) and environmental variables (daylight, time of day) |
| Interfaces | PC software for lighting control, as well as gesture and voice control. Sensors for the detection of selected user-related factors. |
| Conditioning of laboratory | Embedded in a laboratory concept which enables researchers to perform integral investigations of indoor climate, lighting and acoustics. |
