| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
After the Great East Japan Earthquake and thereafter, lighting environment problems related to power saving and energy saving for various parts of Tohoku, related departments of local governments in the Kanto region, companies related to lighting equipment, visually impaired people, etc. We conducted a survey on points and maintenance status. Then, various problems were extracted and analyzed, and the improvement of the problems and the reliable, safe and high quality lighting design method were considered.
Furthermore, we planned a laboratory experiment and planned an evaluation experiment study that quantitatively deals with the relationship between low-vision visibility and lighting conditions, and clarified the lighting design requirements.
In addition, we conducted a survey in Japan and overseas on examples of light environment design that saves power while also considering visual workability. In addition, we also proposed and supervised the design at the lighting design site.
