Several studiesanalyzed how humans respond to a space environment and noted that people can react to space in a cognitive, emotional, and biological way. Besides cognitive and emotional responses under certain lighting conditions, we have interesting questions about the short-term biological effects of lighting on people.

If we look at the two pictures below, will people respond differently?

How people will behave in this lighting condition?

If they walking passing by, which route do they take?

How fast are they walking speed?

Will people behave differently in this lighting condition compare to the above light condition?

Will they take different route?

Will they walk faster or slower?

ALTA Integra believes strategic Integration of Architectural Building Physics knowledge such as Acoustic, Lighting, Thermal, Air Quality, and other disciplines in the built environment will make a big impact. So let’s join our mission to share this belief and passion to make our world a better place.
