Hintergrund

Insufficient exposure to daylight has been linked to sleep, mood and health problems. This can occur when individuals are unable to move outdoors for different reasons, or when they have restricted access to daylight/view outside. One example is individuals with physical and/or mental challenges who, in some cases, also rely on third parties (carers, relatives, neighbours, friends) to help them move outdoors and get daylight exposure. The project eLIGHT has a focus on populations of older adults to study and find solutions to these challenges.

Zielsetzung

The project findings will empower individuals and communities by embedding daylight accessibility into daily routines and promoting environments that provide better daylight exposure. This will be achieved through research papers, conference talks, policy briefs, and educational materials.
