8 FINAL SUMMARY lated disturbances because of red light as well as anxiety in some patients. The warm light is thus meeting the criteria of professional lighting that sup- ports the sleep cycles in night-shift workers. Nighttime safety will benefit from the option of turning on the emergency lighting, during evening and night. Criteria C) Add spatial identity and healing atmosphere The criteria for enhancing atmosphere and spatial identity states that the lighting design should be calming and personalised. A calming atmos- phere is enhanced, according to the design principles, as it focuses on low light sources and low illuminance levels outside peak periods. Introducing, calming and warm lighting environments for morning and evening. Different lighting schemes and adjustable light sources will create a changing atmos- phere, based on function and preference. This can support the sense of home and add something personal to the space. Through the completion of the lighting design concept, the concept of the three layers of light has been applied to the four space categories within the facility, (slow, fast, expand, concentrate) to enhance atmosphere, spatial qualities and functions. The last design principle is about introducing daylight and view to na- ture in the indoor environment. During daytime, the emphasis is on dynamic shadows in the space and supporting the seasonal changes. Both can add to the visual and emotional perception of the space. The night lighting in the connecting courtyards and surrounding landscape will be subtle and poetic, stressing the importance of providing darkness at night, to stimulate daily rhythm. This is enhanced especially in courtyards, where the mirroring effects are minimised with low light levels and applied vertical light. 8.1.2 Lighting design concept A large number of factors can stimulate the patients when they move into the new facility. The outcome of the lighting design will be hard to evaluate, distinguishing light therapy from the effects of the healing architecture. It will thus be difficult to separate the benefits from the circadian lighting from other confounding factors, such as: » Positive effects of changing the scene, moving into a brand-new building » Healing architecture, including materials, new rooms, better facilities for therapy, relaxation etc. » Access to nature and daylight, including the possibility to look out into court yards and enter at any time » Staff may be positively affected by the above mentioned as well, cre- ating a better healing environment and mood in the building.
