Conforto lumínico na terceira idade: um estudo da iluminação em habitações de idosos residentes do condomínio Cidade Madura na cidade de João Pessoa – PB

Abstract

This study has as object the illumination in dwellings of elderly residents in a condominium called Cidade Madura in the city of João Pessoa - PB. The objective was to analyze the lighting comfort for the elderly in their homes and to suggest improvements that help in the design of natural and artificial lighting that the elderly person uses. We analyzed the 38 housing units that make up the spatial cut in question, based on daylighting simulations performed with the Daysim software, artificial lighting simulations with the Dialux software and a questionnaire. Thus, we sought to contribute to the discussions around the theme, as well as suggesting improvements that may help professionals in the process of developing lighting projects for the elderly.
