- Abstract
- The work of Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) TC 3.16 on "Psychological Response to Lighting" is described. The committee is charged with reviewing the literature on the psychological response to lighting and preparing a report for the CIE. The committee has identified about 260 research documents, developed a framework for review, prepared an outline, abstracted about 60% of the documents and developed an initial draft. Tentative output from the draft is described in the area of preferred task illuminace, glare, adapation level, luminance distributions, light source position and extent, light source characteristics such as color temperature, color rendering and daylight, and dynamic temporal effects such as flicker, variation, and photobiology. A list of references is included.
