❄️ Winter is coming – the days get shorter, the skies darker, DST ends and for many of us, our energy, mood, and health start to dip 🤧
In Part 1 of a 2-part special of Sunlight Matters, Dr Roger Seheult joins us to share science-backed tips to help you stay healthy, energized, and resilient through the long winter nights.
From understanding the hidden power of infrared light to simple daily routines that boost your immune system and mood, this episode is packed with practical advice for winter wellness – even when it’s cold, cloudy, and grey.
In this illuminating episode, we're joined by Austrian engineer Viktoria Neumüller, a passionate advocate for sunlight-optimized architecture and energy-efficient building design.
With a background in planning heating, cooling, and ventilation systems, Viktoria brings rare insight into how thoughtful building orientation and solar exposure can dramatically reduce heating costs, enhance comfort, and even transform quality of life.
💡 We dive deep into: - Why shadow mapping and sunlight analysis should be a first step in architectural design - How ignoring solar orientation can cost homeowners thousands over a building’s lifetime - Viktoria's personal mission to help homeowners, builders, and architects rethink natural light integration - The surprising resistance from the construction industry—and how she’s challenging it
Whether you're planning a new build, renovating a home, or simply fascinated by how sunlight and design intersect, this episode will inspire a new way of seeing your space.
Dive into the revolutionary science of infrared, mitochondria and how LEDs influence our health.
Prof Glen Jeffery is recognised as one of the world's leading researchers in exploring how light interacts with our bodies. In a world starved of infrared light we talk about the major role of light for public health.
Dave met with Niko Gentile and Agnieszka Czachura of Lund University to dive into the value of sunlight in modern homes, how building codes and design miss the mark, and why real estate agents might be the true sunlight psychologists.
💡 Don’t miss out if you’re curious about the science, perception, and policy of natural light.
