since 2019 - coresearcher

APVV 18-0174 - Research of circadian potential of facade systems of buildings. This multidisciplinary research is focused on developing circadian photometry based on the action spectrum of suppression of melatonin secretion in human body. Applied research will be concentrated on the design of assessment methods for circadian potential of facade systems of buildings and shading devices, which will be verified by medical and technical methods in real internal spaces, in scaled model rooms under realistic conditions of dynamic light climate, and generalized by computer simulations.
