Remedy of “White Nights”: A widely Applicable Light Pollution Evaluation System

Abstract

Owing to the frequent presence of "white nights" recently, light pollution prevention and control measures are in great demand to resist the potential harm to humans and organisms. In this paper, we determined the light pollution risk evaluation index system from four dimensions to accurately measure light pollution risk levels in different types of areas. On this basis, the Revenue-Efficiency Index was introduced to measure sustainability. In response to the above analysis indicators, we proposed an advisable intervention strategy for glass curtain walls and confirmed its effectiveness through simulation. The indicator system was built by picking 40 countries with different levels of light radiation, and various indicators were chosen in multiple dimensions, thus the model is relatively reliable and universal.
