- Abstract
Lighting in the workplace is often assessed based on functionality. In line with scientific development, the research into lighting observes its effect on the occupant’s health and psychology. This article discusses research publications related to the relationship between artificial lighting and mood, by reviewing relevant literature from journals, dissertations, theses, and books from the last 10 years. Some of the literature refers to the older sources; hence the study is expanded to cover, in certain cases, a publication period of more than 10 years ago. The first section of this review discusses the general definition of mood and its role in the workplace. The next section explains the visual requirements of a workplace environment, especially regarding the required standards and the lighting’s effects on health. The third section of the paper discusses the relationship between the visual environment and mood, with particular reference to how lighting enters and affects mood. The final section of this discussion addresses previous research related to the visual environment and mood that can be categorized into three focal points: (i) illuminance level effects; (ii) correlated color temperature effect, and (iii) mixed influencing factors.
