The paper titled, “The Impact of Operated Window Shading on Visual Comfort, Non-Visual Health, and Energy Demand from Electric Lighting” was accepted to the proceedings of Building Simulation 2023 after a double-blind peer-review process. The paper summarizes research in the Baker Lighting Lab to develop an annual climate-based simulation workflow for evaluating non-visual health and visual comfort in buildings with operated shading and lighting control systems. This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lighting R&D Program, part of the Building Technologies Office within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). the paper was co-authored by Siobhan Rockcastle, Alen Mahic, and Sarah Safranek (PNNL), with support from Dr. Robert Davis and Dr. Belal Abboushi.
