In my diploma thesis, I researched and compiled recommendations for the lighting of living spaces.
I started researching this because so far there is no standard that describes how living spaces should
be lighted.
At the beginning of the thesis there is a theoretical introduction, which contains the definition of light
and its physical properties. This is followed by a presentation of the influence of light on humans;
human response to light and its perception and adaptation. Finally, I focus on the lighting of living
spaces. Firstly, I present the SIST EN 12464-1 standard, where the lighting requirements for people
at workplaces in indoor spaces are presented. Then I write down the definition of the living space,
list the possible living spaces and write the recommended parameters of lighting for each of them.
I compiled the recommendations with the help of textbooks, scientific articles and the SIST EN
12464-1 standard. For each room I wrote down which work tasks are performed in a certain room.
Based on these tasks I looked for information about proper lighting in the standard and literature.
