Resumo(s)
Esta investigação explora o papel transformador do design de iluminação inteligente no aumento da produtividade e do bem-estar entre os trabalhadores remotos em ambientes de escritórios domésticos. Com a crescente prevalência do trabalho remoto, os espaços domésticos tornaram-se ambientes multifuncionais que exigem soluções de iluminação inovadoras. O estudo investiga como a iluminação centrada no ser humano (HCL), os sistemas de iluminação inteligentes e a iluminação de tarefas podem apoiar a saúde, o humor e a eficiência. Estas abordagens enfatizam fatores como a intensidade da luz e a temperatura da cor. Empregando uma abordagem de métodos mistos, a fase exploratória utilizou a pesquisa por questionário e sondagens culturais para compreender as necessidades do utilizador, enquanto a fase generativa empregou o mapeamento da jornada do utilizador para identificar pontos de contacto e a prototipagem para desenvolver e testar soluções. As principais conclusões destacam a influência crítica da iluminação nos ritmos circadianos, no foco cognitivo e no conforto. A iluminação de tarefas e os sistemas de iluminação inteligentes surgiram como soluções eficazes para os trabalhadores remotos, oferecendo uma iluminação adaptável e personalizável, adaptada a atividades específicas e preferências pessoais. O design de iluminação inteligente, alimentado por tecnologias LED avançadas, permite ajustes dinâmicos que fazem uma transição perfeita entre os modos funcional e ambiente, promovendo a produtividade, o conforto e a eficiência energética. Apesar dos seus benefícios, a limitada sensibilização e adoção destas tecnologias continuam a ser barreiras, enfatizando a necessidade de educação entre os trabalhadores e as organizações remotas. Esta investigação estabelece as bases para estudos futuros sobre o design de iluminação inteligente e centrado no ser humano em escritórios domésticos, com foco na iluminação de tarefas, tecnologias adaptativas e estratégias para promover a consciencialização e ambientes de trabalho remoto mais saudáveis e produtivos.
This research explores the transformative role of intelligent lighting design in enhancing productivity and well-being among remote workers in home-office settings. With the growing prevalence of remote work, home spaces have become multifunctional environments requiring innovative lighting solutions. The study investigates how human-centric lighting (HCL), intelligent lighting systems, and task lighting can support health, mood, and efficiency. These approaches emphasize factors such as light intensity and color temperature. Employing a mixed methods approach, the exploratory phase utilized survey by questionnaire and cultural probes to understand user needs, while the generative phase employed user journey mapping to identify touchpoints and prototyping to develop and test solutions. Key findings highlight the critical influence of lighting on circadian rhythms, cognitive focus, and comfort. Task lighting and intelligent lighting systems emerged as effective solutions for remote workers, offering adaptable and customizable illumination tailored to specific activities and personal preferences. Intelligent lighting design, powered by advanced LED technologies, enables dynamic adjustments that seamlessly transition between functional and ambient modes, fostering productivity, comfort, and energy efficiency. Despite their benefits, limited awareness and adoption of these technologies remain barriers, emphasizing the need for education among remote workers and organizations. This research lays the groundwork for future studies on human-centric and intelligent lighting design in home offices, focusing on task lighting, adaptive technologies, and strategies to foster awareness and healthier, more productive remote work environments.
