The paper titled, “Disparities in circadian potential: the impact of building form and interior wall composition on dynamic light exposure” was accepted to Building Simulation 2023 after a double-blind peer-review process. The paper was co-authored by Siobhan Rockcastle, Hadley Carlberg (UO B.Arch 2023′), Maryam Esmailian (UO PhD Candidate), and Maria Amundadottir (Oculight Analytics, Reykjavik). This paper describes a weighted approach to predicting the impact of building form and occupant behavior on the equity of daylight exposure to support circadian health across a population of occupants. While the workflow does not integrate electric light sources, it describes a method of predicting the circadian daylight potential of a building and can help identify which occupants would be most reliant on electric light sources based on deficiencies in daylight access.
