Abstract
In hospital environments, the significance of lighting becomes especially evident when considered alongside other environmental factors that influence patient well-being. Enhancing daytime light levels is essential for supporting physiological and psychological health, particularly through promoting circadian alignment. Appropriate lighting design can improve patient outcomes, reduce stress, and enhance comfort in healthcare settings.
