| Abstract |
This study performed a subjective evaluation of the Semantic Differential (SD) method for living room activities to evaluate the living room lighting environment and investigated the relationship between these through luminance distribution in the space. As a result, three factors-“lightness”, “emotion” and “calmness”-have been grouped together. According to the analysis of experimental variables, difference has been observed depending on color temperature, the dimming of the ceiling & cove lights and the use of down lights and a bracket. ‘Conversation with Family’, ‘Having Fun with Family’, ‘Entertaining Guests’ and ‘Reading a Book or Newspaper’ requires “lightness”. In terms of “emotion”-centered activities, ‘Watching TV’ is the highest, but all three factors are related. In terms of “calmness”-centered activities, ‘Relaxing’ is the highest. |
