Abstract Modern people sometimes experience days with no exposure to daylight and can therefore benefit from light therapy. This paper reviewed previous studies on light therapy and confirms the validity of the therapy through a survey. After confirming the validity, a study was conducted using alternative windows that can apply light therapy. Finally, indoor illumination was calculated to check the effectiveness in real conditions. The results show that modern people need light therapy in their residential environments, and specific devices are required for successful light therapy.
