1 BACKGROUND 1.5 Methodology The nature of this thesis is to evolve around a future research project. Being a pre-project for a future clinical study with the patients in PCBA 55, actual tests and final measurements will be part of future investigations. This com- bined with that fact that the finishing of the building is still in process, pre- vents actual test in this preface. As a consequence, the tools and methods used in this thesis are more analytical than practical. Through a mixed methods-approach, combining the findings from an ex- tensive literature review, state of the art investigations, interviews, observa- tions and qualitative measuring methods, a lighting design concept includ- ing circadian lighting, for the new PCBA ED 55 facility will be suggested. Different methods have been used in order to obtain information within this narrow topic. As previous results concerning lighting and ED are limited it has been a necessity to find useful information though alternative chan- nels. Initially, focus and importance was understanding the nature of ED as a mortal and mental disease. To be able to understand the behaviour and state of mind of ED patients, a line of expert interviews was carried out with qualified professional personnel such as nurses and psychological therapists within the ED field. A visit to the current ED facility in PCBA provided knowl- edge on the current situation, both concerning daily schedule, architecture, spaces, eating facilities and lighting design. When the patients move into the newly build facility, it will be completed with healing architecture, designed with focus on ED patients. These new building could play a role in the results from the study of the circadian light- ing. In this context, a brief investigation of Danish state of the art, within healing architecture with circadian lighting has been carried out. Taking the lack of evaluation in CL systems into consideration, this section is merely a brief introduction to other facilities. The character of the study will, to a high degree be analytical, as this thesis will concentrate on existing research, combing lighting design and ED treatment. A process of self-evaluation on the hypotheses developed, based on the findings from this thesis, will conclude this thesis. Future results from the upcoming study can provide further information on the evaluation of the hypotheses and a final conclusion as future work and ways to apply the research will be discussed.
