Giorgia Chinazzo (LIPID) carried out a pioneering study at EPFL showing that the amount of daylight in a room can influence our thermal comfort and how well we tolerate heat or cold.
The findings could be used to improve existing building standards and decrease energy consumption.
The difference between reality and our perception of reality has long intrigued Western philosophers. Today scientists at EPFL’s Laboratory of Integrated Performance in Design (LIPID) have shed interesting new light on the subject with a study just published in Scientific Reports.
