Impact on visual comfort and well-being: Integration of wood coating in the space RESUMEN/ El acceso a la luz natural y un buen confort luminoso puede mejorar el ambiente interior. Si bien los espacios que integran revestimientos blancos distribuyen de mejor forma la luz natural, el uso de la madera puede entregar otras atribuciones. De acuerdo con la teoría de la biofilia, el uso de la madera produce efectos psicológicos positivos en las personas y cambia la apreciación de los recintos interiores. El objetivo de esta investigación es evaluar la relación entre el ambiente luminoso y el grado de satisfacción visual frente a tres configuraciones del espacio en los que se varía el tipo y el porcentaje de madera. Una relación entre el análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo mediante modelos a escala (1:10-1:20), fotografías de alto rango dinámico, sistema CIELab y encuestas muestran que el uso de la madera presenta una respuesta favorable en comparación con espacios que solo integran superficies blancas. ABSTRACT/ Daylight and lighting comfort may improve indoor environments. While white coatings have the capability to better distribute natural light, the use of wood could provide additional features. According to the biophilia theory, the integration of wood has positive psychological impacts on human beings and changes the appreciation of indoor spaces. The main objective of this research is to evaluate the relationship between the luminous ambiance and the degree of visual satisfaction, considering three spatial configurations, varying wood types and proportions. The relationship between a quantitative and a qualitative analysis with scale models (1:10-1:20), high dynamic range photographs, CIELab system and surveys, reveal that the use of wood triggers favourable responses compared with rooms that use white coatings only. Palabras clave/ Luz natural, espacio, arquitectura en madera, color.
