Properly daylight spaces can give character to a building or it spaces. Daylight can also create unwanted lighting conditions of discomfort and glare for building users which affects building occupant’s performance and health. Current and future hospital designs need to provide healthier healing environments by improving access to daylight and a connection to nature through provision of view. Most Kenyan hospitals have been designed with a focus on providing service efficient healing environments at the expense of physiological and psychological comfort of patients, staff and visitors. This study explored day lighting strategies and how their application in hospital design to create a healing environment. The analysis of two case studies put forth five design parameters that guide the design of a naturally lit hospital which are;orientation,building footprint,sun control,courtyards,skylights and clerestories.These parameters were used to evaluate the design of the local case studies The author then developed design recommendations that would improve daylighting of hospitals in Nairobi . Case study approach was used to carry out fieldwork due to its flexibility and expansiveness as a research method.Kenyatta National Hospital ,Mater Hospital and Mama Lucy Hospital were chosen as case studies for this thesis.Fieldwork findings affirm the statement that the design of modern hospitals prioritizes efficiency of services over patient comfort and healing.The study recommends the sensitization of stakeholders in the built environment on the importance of day lighting and sustainable design in creating healing environment;formulation of legislation on the specifics of daylight required for building types and the upgrading of the three hospitals studied to ensure visual comfort where possible.

Patient satisfaction has evolved as an important tool to evaluate high-value care being given to patient. Also, design of the physical environment is increasingly recognized as an important attribute in patient care. Patient has to cope with not only the disease but also with changes in environmental factors on hospitalization. Light in healthcare environment is known to influence physical and emotional well-being of patients and also enhance their recovery. Optimum bedside lighting condition is vital for patient's personal needs and comfort and also for activities such as clinical examinations, various tests and procedures as also nursing care. The present study was undertaken to test visual comfort relative to bedside light. A structured, interviewer guided questionnaire was used to evaluate 136 adult patients who visited three multi-speciality hospitals and results were compared to standards. The 136 patients consisted of 82 males and 54 females with a mean age of 31 years (+...

Light can be designed to give meaning and atmosphere according to the concept and purpose of the building. Humans have an inseparable attachment to light. For human life, light makes a significant contribution and has a role that can be seen and felt in physiological and psychological aspects. Physiologically, light greatly affects the performance of buildings that can be felt by humans through the sense of sight. Psychologically, light in space can create human perception that can improve human health. This is presented through color and material as a medium for the formation of light in space. Therefore, there is a need for spatial planning that can take advantage of the quality of light that has meaning for space users. The need for this research is to determine the quality of lighting that can affect human psychological health to improve health through the quality of lamp design. To obtain this information, it is necessary to conduct a building analysis that focuses on light quality. That way, it can find an indoor lighting strategy that can be used as a reference by paying attention to the layout and user perceptions that have an impact on physiological and psychological systems.
