| description | The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is well aware of energy consumption and the reduction in carbon emissions from the quantitative analysis for lighting, but well-being, does not have a well-defined characteristic. This paper aims to investigate the context, analyze the appropriate lighting in the residential interiors in UAE, and present the planning direction of interior spaces. The methodology analyses the residential interiors' functions, human well-being status, and main innovative lighting characteristics. The analysis results are as follows; First, it is essential to establish the location and space plan in the planning phase due to the nature of the interior space functions. The context of the location has significant effects. Second, it is essential to establish the required lighting fixtures and bulbs. Third, strategic lighting layouts for the multiple interior spaces in the residential project. Interior architects provide the various lists and contents for creating a healthy lighting environment and the appropriate space. This study will serve as fundamental data to enhance the housing interiors in the UAE. Additionally, it will serve future research that supplies an efficient guide for the decision-making process to prepare the design guidelines and operational plans. Accordingly, trends, innovation, and national efforts serve as the backdrop for this study, which aims to present new strategic lighting layouts (lighting scenes) standards related to light in residential spaces for a healthy life in Dubai, UAE, by presenting and simulating natural lighting diversity throughout the day to adapt with the circadian rhythm for physical and mental well-being. |
