Description

  The present invention relates to a building provided with health lighting capable of emitting light for wakefulness and light for sedation.

  Conventionally, lighting used in a house is designed mainly for the purpose of obtaining the brightness of the entire room or assisting visual work. In this case, what is required for illumination is brightness (illuminance), color temperature, and color rendering. However, on the biological rhythm (circadian rhythm) of a person with a period of about 24 hours, the wavelength (or frequency) of light entering the eye and each wavelength are higher than the indicators such as illumination illuminance, color temperature, and color rendering. Strength balance (spectral distribution) is important. Biological rhythm is a daily rhythm that creates the day and night of living things. For example, sleep-wakefulness that naturally awakens when a certain time comes and sleeps for a certain time. There are cycles. Proper maintenance of this biological rhythm is important in maintaining a healthy life.

  In maintaining human biological rhythms, the space to wake up when waking up and the space to sedate when falling asleep play an important role, and those spaces are irradiated with light to maintain the biological rhythm. It is important to use instruments.

  In addition, especially for the light required for sedation, not only the simple light state but also the consciousness of the resident is important. A resident consciously sits in a space with a high sedative effect, and parasympathetic nerves dominate, and relaxing has a positive effect on sleep. Similarly, when awakening, the user himself / herself dares to take a different light from the normal lighting, which makes it possible to switch feelings.

  Here, Patent Document 1 describes a lighting device for promoting awakening, particularly when getting up. The illumination device is configured to start changing the illuminance at a predetermined time before the wake-up time and to irradiate the vicinity of the sleeping person's face while gradually increasing the illuminance. As a result, the sleeping person gradually approaches the awake state from the sleeping state and can wake up comfortably.

  Patent Document 2 discloses a technique for providing a comfortable sleep environment by controlling turning off or on of illumination based on user's biological information acquired by a sweat sensor, a blood flow sensor, or the like. .

  However, in the illumination device described in Patent Document 1, the wavelength and spectral distribution of light that affects the biological rhythm is not particularly considered, and only changes the illuminance of general illumination. It was difficult to switch the user's own feelings when waking up because they were unable to work specifically on consciousness.

  In addition, the illumination described in Patent Document 2 controls illumination based on biological information such as the amount of sweating of the user, but this also particularly takes into account the wavelength and spectral distribution that affect the biological rhythm. However, there was room for improvement in terms of working with the user's consciousness when waking up.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a building with health lighting, which has health lighting capable of appropriately controlling a living rhythm of a resident by irradiating light with appropriately controlled spectral distribution. And

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the building with health lighting of the present invention has an irradiation illuminance in a wavelength region of 380 nm or more and 500 nm or less that is higher than an irradiation illuminance in a wavelength region of more than 500 nm and 700 nm or less.

  Moreover, in the building with health lighting according to the present invention, it is preferable that the first lighting means irradiates light toward a sleeping area in a living room. The “sleeping area” is an area for a resident to go to bed, for example, an area where a bed or a futon is placed.

  Moreover, in the building with health lighting according to the present invention, it is preferable that the second illuminating means irradiates light in a direction in which a sleeping area is removed from the living room. Moreover, when irradiating light to a sleeping area, it is preferable to control the amount of light reaching the eyes by adjusting the light, and it is important to prevent strong light from reaching the eyes of the resident.

It is preferable to provide a measuring means for measuring at least one of the above.

  Moreover, in the building with health lighting according to the present invention, biological rhythm information measuring means for measuring information related to the biological rhythm including the resident's body temperature or heartbeat, and biological rhythm information storage for storing the measured information related to the biological rhythm Preferably means are provided.

(A) is a figure which shows a mode that the light for awakening is irradiated in one Embodiment of the building with health lighting concerning this invention, (b) represents a mode that the light for sedation is irradiated. . (A) is a graph which shows an example of the spectral distribution of the light for awakening, (b) is a graph which shows an example of the spectral distribution of the light for sedation. It is a figure which shows the spectral luminous efficiency: V '((lambda)) of an intrinsic light sensitive retinal ganglion cell (intrinsically reactive retinal ganglion cell: ipRGC).

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a building with health lighting according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1A and 1B show a living room 1 in a building such as a house. A window 2 is provided on a wall on one side of the living room 1, and the ceiling of the living room 1 has main lighting. 3 is provided. In addition, health lighting 4 is provided on the wall on the opposite side of the window 2, and a bed 5 for the resident P to sleep is disposed in the vicinity of the health lighting 4.

  The main illumination 3 is illumination for ensuring the overall brightness of the living room 1, and is a general fluorescent lamp in this embodiment. In addition, the main illumination 3 is not limited to a fluorescent lamp, For example, it can also be set as LED illumination etc.

  Unlike the main lighting 3, the health lighting 4 is used as an auxiliary. In the present embodiment, the health lighting 4 is a so-called bracket light that is attached to the wall, but is not limited thereto, and may be a stand type standing on the floor, or a form that is attached to the ceiling. Also good.

  Inside the health lighting 4, there are provided first illumination means for irradiating the awakening light W and second illumination means for irradiating the sedation light S. As shown in FIG. 1A, at the time of awakening, awakening light W is emitted from the first illumination means of the health lighting 4 toward the bed 5 that is a sleeping area in the living room 1. Moreover, as shown in FIG.1 (b), at the time of sedation, the light S for sedation is irradiated from the 2nd illumination means of the health illumination 4 in the direction which removed the bed 5 which is a sleeping area. The irradiation directions of the awakening light W and the sedative light S are not limited to the illustrated directions.

  Here, FIG. 2A is a graph showing an example of the spectral distribution of the awakening light W. FIG. The horizontal axis of the graph represents wavelength, and the vertical axis represents relative radiation intensity. The awakening light W has an irradiation illuminance in a wavelength region of 380 nm to 500 nm that is greater than an irradiation illuminance in a wavelength region of more than 500 nm and not more than 700 nm. The spectral illuminance efficiency of ganglion cells (intrinsically retinal ganglion cells: hereinafter ipRGC): V ′ (λ) (see FIG. 3) shows the highest illumination illuminance at a wavelength having a peak near 480 nm. Note that “the irradiation illuminance in the wavelength region of 380 nm to 500 nm is equal to or higher than the irradiation illuminance in the wavelength region of more than 500 nm to 700 nm” in FIG. 2A, the integrated value of the illuminance at a wavelength of 380 nm to 500 nm. This means that the area of the region A is equal to or larger than the area of the region B which is an integrated value of illuminance at a wavelength of more than 500 nm and not more than 700 nm. The awakening light W is a light close to blue because the proportion of short wavelength components is large in the visible region. In addition, since the light W for awakening is a wavelength having a peak near 480 nm along the spectral luminous efficiency: V ′ (λ) of ipRGC, the resident may feel uncomfortable. It is preferable to balance by mixing light of wavelengths. In the present embodiment, the awakening light W and the soothing light S have a spectral distribution different from that of general illumination light, and therefore the value of Ra (color rendering index) is 80 or less. The color temperature cannot be calculated.

  FIG. 2B is a graph showing an example of the spectral distribution of the light S for sedation. The light S for sedation has an irradiation illuminance in a wavelength region of 600 nm or more and 700 nm or less that is higher than an irradiation illuminance in a wavelength region of 380 nm or more and less than 600 nm. Here, “the irradiation illuminance in the wavelength region of 600 nm or more and 700 nm or less is equal to or more than the irradiation illuminance of the wavelength region of 380 nm or more and less than 600 nm” means that the area of the region C in FIG. It represents that. In order to avoid disturbing the sedation, the light S for sedation preferably contains almost no wavelength of 480 nm or less (10% or less of the total spectral intensity), more preferably 480 nm. It is desirable that light of the following wavelengths is not included.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the biological rhythm of the resident P, the light W for wakefulness is irradiated at a timing that requires wakefulness, and sedation is performed at a timing that requires sedation (sleep). By irradiating the light S, the living room 1 can be appropriately maintained as a space suitable for awakening and sedation, and the biological rhythm of the resident P can be appropriately maintained. As a result, the health condition can be improved or maintained. . Note that the timing of irradiating the awakening light W or the sedating light S can be determined based on a preset time. As will be described later, the information from the biological rhythm information measuring means is used. It is also possible to make a decision based on this.

  Further, at the time of awakening, the wake-up of the resident P can be promoted by irradiating the wake-up light W toward the sleeping area, and at the time of sedation, the sedating light S is irradiated in the direction away from the sleeping area. Thus, the sedation can be promoted by preventing the resident P from being exposed to the light S for sedation directly.

  Furthermore, at the time of sedation, it is preferable to change the illuminance of the light S for sedation with the same rhythm as the breathing of the occupant P and to give fluctuation to the irradiated light. According to this, the effect of calming can be heightened by encouraging the resident P to synchronize with the fluctuation of illuminance and relaxing.

  In the present embodiment, the first illumination means and the second illumination means are integrally provided in the health illumination 4, and switching between the awakening light W and the sedation light S is performed by a switching means provided inside. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the first lighting unit and the second lighting unit may be independent lighting fixtures. The switching means may be configured to be manually switched by providing a switch or the like directly on the health lighting 4, or may be configured to be remotely operated by a remote control device or a smartphone.

  Moreover, although the light source used for a 1st illumination means and a 2nd illumination means is preferable LED, it is not limited to this, For example, a fluorescent lamp may be sufficient. Further, the LED as the light source may be composed of RGB three-color LED elements. For example, a color filter or the like may be provided in one or two-color elements to appropriately change the color of light. In the present invention, the first illuminating means and the second illuminating means can be configured by a single light source by controlling the spectral distribution of light emitted from the light source.

  The health lighting 4 preferably has an illuminance adjustment mechanism for adjusting the illuminance of the light of each of the first illumination means and the second illumination means, whereby the awakening light W and the sedation light S are respectively resident. The effect of maintaining a biological rhythm can be enhanced by adjusting the illuminance to be more comfortable for P.

  In the present embodiment, the health illumination 4 is provided with a measuring unit 6 capable of measuring at least one of the illuminance, spectral distribution, and RGB components. The measuring means 6 can be, for example, a spectral irradiance meter, an RGB photon meter, or the like, and may be a single device that combines them. Further, the measuring means 6 is not limited to being provided directly on the health lighting 4 but may be arranged on the bed 5 which is a sleeping area. The measurement result by the measuring means 6 changes depending on the external light passing through the window 2, the light emitted by the main illumination 3, the light emitted by the health illumination 4, and the like. By adjusting the light W and the light S for sedation, more appropriate light can be irradiated.

  Further, based on the measurement value obtained by the measuring means 6, for example, when it is determined that the sleeping area is excessively bright during sedation, the main illumination 3 is turned off or the illuminance of the main illumination 3 is reduced. It is also good.

  Moreover, it is preferable to include a biological rhythm information measuring unit that measures information related to the biological rhythm including the body temperature or heartbeat of the resident P, and a biological rhythm information storage unit that stores information related to the measured biological rhythm. The biological rhythm information measuring means includes, for example, a thermo camera that can measure body temperature without contact, and an armband type measuring instrument that can measure body temperature and heart rate by wearing it on the wrist, but is not particularly limited. It is not something. By using such a biological rhythm information measuring means, for example, based on information on body temperature and heartbeat, by grasping the illuminance of the light S for sedation when in a relaxed state, the illuminance more appropriate for the resident P Can be determined. In addition, the biological rhythm of the resident P can be grasped more accurately, and based on the information, the awakening light W and the sedation light S can be emitted at an appropriate timing and illuminance for the resident P. Further, by storing past information in the biological rhythm information storage means and comparing it with the past information, the resident P can grasp the temporal change of the biological rhythm. Furthermore, in order to enhance the sedative effect, the effect may be enhanced by using a known method of giving the light a fluctuation or rhythm.

  In addition, a control means for determining the operating time or light flux of the first illumination means and the second illumination means based on the information related to the biological rhythm measured by the biological rhythm measurement means, the control means includes the light flux adjusting mechanism described above. It is preferable to control, and according to this, it is possible to automatically irradiate the awakening light W and the sedation light S with a more appropriate operation time and light flux, so the work burden on the resident P is reduced. In addition, the effect of maintaining an appropriate biological rhythm can be enhanced. For example, the control means may be application software in a PC or a smartphone, but is not limited to this.

  In addition, it is preferable to include display means for displaying the information related to the biological rhythm described above and the operating time or the luminous flux of the first illuminating means and the second illuminating means. It is possible to grasp the information. The display means may be a smartphone or a tablet terminal, but is not limited to this.
