Evaluation of Sleep and Cognitive Performance under Natural and Artificial Lighting Conditions
Architectural design that incorporates natural sunlight as a primary light source, such as that in the Ames Research Center Sustainability Base, may enhance alertness, performance and sleep consolidation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the NASA ARC sustainability base (“green” building) increases exposure to natural lighting, thereby improving worker alertness, performance, and sleep consolidation compared to workers in traditional office buildings. This study has been completed and data analysis is underway.
