Abstract

Abstract This paper reviews 49 studies that addressed how window view, daylighting, and lighting in buildings affect occupants’ behavior and well-being. The systematic literature search was performed in November 2021 and focused on office and educational buildings. We quantified the number of papers per study type, study aim, and lighting condition. Predictor categories and methods for data collection were also considered. We analyzed the results according to a structure of records, defined by the number of predictors and type of outcomes from a study. We obtained 106 records. A gap in the number of studies under different lighting conditions and building types was identified. Studies under natural light and studies conducted in learning environments were fewer than studies dealing with artificial lighting in offices. A wide variety of methods for data collection was found. Artificial lighting features and correlated color temperature were the most used predictors. Based on the analysis of records, we found that 61.3% of the associations between predictors and outcomes were statistically significant. The type of effect was not reported in 3.8% of the records-meaning that approximately 35% of the records found no significant associations between predictors and outcomes.
