Research Topics

• Developing energy-efficient street lighting
  Examining attributes of safe-feeling street lighting through experiments on scale models. One of the results was founded that intensity lighting could be reduced with good natural surveillance such as lights coming through windows.
• Examining lighting effects on human behavior
  Conducting many field experiments to research human behavior in non-uniformly illuminated space. Especially, characteristics of conversational behaviors in offices, schools, cafes, and public spaces were investigated.
