First DLA paper now published

Daylight has many beneficial effects, for example for human health and wellbeing as well as for sustainability. While electric lighting can mimick many characteristics of daylight, it remains yet to be demonstrated that it can reproduce the sum of diverse, positive outcomes associated with daylight.

The publication “Daylight: What makes the difference”, written by one of the DLA working groups, summarises the current state of knowledge on how natural daylight is different from electric light in the built environment. The authors also suggest what questions future studies should address. The publication is available online.
