Daylight Integration in Healing and Health care Environment: a Simulation-Based Analysis of Patient Wards

Author(s) Ms. Anchal Raghunandan Agrawal, Ar. Thoudam Sudha
Country India
Abstract This study is aimed at simulating a daylight assessment of three typologies of patient wards in a proposed super specialty hospital in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. The paper discusses how the building's orientation, Window-to-Wall Ratio, and shading devices will impact the availability, distribution, and quality of daylight inside healthcare spaces. Perpendicular, horizontal, and vertical illuminance, Daylight Factor, and Unified Glare Rating were evaluated under CIE clear and overcast sky conditions using DIA Lux evo to understand visual comfort and daylight performance.
The paper provides evidence-based insights into the optimization of ward design with improved patient comfort, well-being, and recovery. Based on the simulation results, this paper also discusses various architectural strategies of daylight integration into built structures and highlights some practical ways of enhancing natural light in healthcare environments.
Notably, daylight is viewed in the study as an essential ingredient of therapeutic architecture, which plays a major role in regulating circadian rhythms, reducing stress, and improving mood while reducing the use and dependency on artificial lighting. Overall, the research positions daylight as a powerful design tool capable of transforming health care spaces into healthier, more restorative settings.
Keywords Integrating daylight, healthcare spaces, wellbeing, circadian rhythms, dialux
