The purpose of this study was to obtain a new guideline on designing the visual environment in the classrooms of elementary schools. This study was carried out through the field measurements on the classrooms and a survey using the questionnaire about the visual environment for learning. The major findings of the study were as follows: (1) It was unbalanced among the illumination, luminance, and color distributions in the classrooms. (2) It was too bright or dark around the surrounding surfaces (walls, floors, and ceilings) of students in the classrooms. Therefore, it is needed to be careful attention on the light distribution and the reflection ratio around the surrounding surfaces of students in the classrooms.

Light is a critical element for people to live and do creative activities in residential buildings. Especially, light in dinning room is the most important thing for psychological and emotional effects but people are living under the poor light environment. Most people even isn't well aware of good lighting environment. Also, the domestic lighting designers just follow the Korean Standards illuminance but it isn't appropriate to our cultural and social sides. This study investigates illuminance and color temperature of dining tables, and also analyzed the results of those in actual residential buildings.
