Peer reviewedHughes, Philip C. – CEFP Journal, 1981
Reviews the established effects of light on the human organism and concludes that sunlight simulating environmental lighting in schools will result in greater student and teacher comfort, health, and increased performance and/or working capacity. (Author/MLF)

Department of Education and Science, London (England). – 1967
The application of good lighting principles to school design is discussed. Part 1 of the study is concerned with the general principles of light and vision as they affect lighting in schools. Parts 2 and 3 deal with the application of these principles to daylighting and artificial lighting. Part 4 discusses the circumstances in which the…

Phillips, Derek – 1964
The primary function of this book is to treat the topic of lighting design in such a manner as to bridge the gap between architects and illuminating engineers. The work is divided into three parts: Part I, Principles of Design, offers information and analysis of how natural and artificial lighting affects building design, how illumination levels…

Alexander, Nancy P. – Child Care Information Exchange, 1995
Discusses the importance of planning lighting in childcare centers. Ideas for organizing lighting in efficient and developmentally appropriate ways are offered. Suggestions are made for provisions that will ensure children's gradual transition from bright to dimly-lit rooms. Guidelines for assessing light quality in a facility and the degree to…

Procedures for Investigating the Effect of Light on Impression: Simulation of a Real Space by Slides
Peer reviewedHendrick, Clyde; And Others – Environment and Behavior, 1977
This study assessed whether slides of lighting arrangements could adequately simulate results from real space. Data indicated that in many important respects the results for the slides matched those for the real space for ratings on semantic differential scales, but that less consistent results were obtained for multidimensional scaling.…

Suggested guidelines for designing indoor lighting and outdoor play space for child care centers are outlined in this booklet. It is recommended that, by focusing on the psychological and physiological needs of the children, decisions as to lighting, color, and playground design will evolve naturally. The guidelines were prepared based on the fact…

Chapman, Dave; Carioti, Frank – 1968
The primary focus of the study reflected in this report was the facility for the educational program -- spaces and equipment for learning in the school. Particular emphasis was placed on the effective use of television in the classroom. The study results reflect seven years' review by a design team of experience with educational and instructional…
