4 STATE OF THE ART The indirect health benefits of daylight can be related to sleep quality, CR and physical aggression. Compared to patients with rooms in shade, the patients in rooms with more natural light had 3.67 days shorter stay in the hospital. This suggests that rooms with windows facing east offers the fast- est recovery. Window related issues are connected to privacy, and patients in a vulnerable state being visible to the outside. (Ulrich et al., 2004; From and Lundin, 2010, pp. 149–169) Green hospitals are currently in the scope, but all nature access is not necessarily good. The natural environment must offer room for activity, meet the preferences and needs of the visitor and enhance curiosity to add val- ue. (Arkitekterne, 2013, pp. 134–146) In the words of Nickl-Weller & Nickl, 2013, the healing hospital should not only treat patients, but also work as a life-enhancing work environment for employees as well. (Nickl-Weller and Nickl, 2013, pp. 230–238) 4.2.2 Cultural impact Cultural impact affects the use of indoor light, (Seghi, Noskaitis and Spanos, 2017) and plays a huge role in the perception of a space.
