Purpose: This study aimed to develop a daylighting design indicator for Korean dementia nursing homes based on the therapeutic effects of light, focusing on the serious aging index facing Korea and the importance of natural light that occupies the most important position in the therapeutic environments for the elderly with dementia. Methods: A wide range of literature-oriented research methods were mobilized to develop the daylighting design indicator of Korean dementia nursing homes. Results: The daylighting design indicator of Korean dementia nursing homes was derived from three perspectives: maximizing daylight availability, optimizing therapeutic view, and minimizing glare. In addition, eighteen basic indicators were derived within seven indicator items in the range of building layout, windows, glazing, shading devices, spaces, interior finishings, and daylight factor. Implications: The daylighting design indicator of Korean dementia nursing homes revealed in this study will contribute to realizing Korean dementia nursing homes as a therapeutic environment for the elderly with dementia.

The purpose of this study is to present the direction of LED lighting development to give people a comfortable feeling. For about 2 years, the database of daylighting color has been built by daylighting measurement and analysing hourly, monthly and seasonal change in daylighting colors. Finally, changes of color coordinates were drawn as a graph and it presented as the LED lighting color development indicator through the relationship with Plankian locus. This methodology is expected to contribute to the development fields of the LED lighting color.
