Discomfort Glare from Daylighting: Influence of Culture on Discomfort Glare Perception [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In a context where lighting standards are developed based on glare indices, no study has ever investigated that these indices could be used analogously for subjects having different cultures and living in different climates. The wide variability existing

A Critical Literature Review of Spatio-temporal Simulation Methods for Daylight Glare Assessment

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Design and Applied Research in Innovative Engineering of the Built Environment, 2019
A well daylighted space can provide a highly satisfying visual environment. However, if that environment causes us visual discomfort, it can become such a nuisance that we, sometimes literally, turn our backs on this powerful connection to the outside ...

Post occupancy evaluations relating to discomfort glare : a study of green buildings in Brisbane [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Glare indices have yet to be extensively tested in daylit open plan offices, as such there is no effective method to predict discomfort glare within these spaces. This study into discomfort glare in open plan green buildings targeted full-time employees,

Brief Communication: Impact of Sign Panel Luminance on Visual Comfort

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Journal of Signage and Wayfinding, 2019
Signs should produce useful visual information to road and sidewalk users without creating undue glare or visual distraction. In order to assist in navigation and wayfinding, signs must be sufficiently conspicuous. For this reason their brightnesses are

Perception of discomfort glare in relation to the CIE Unified Glare Rating scale (UGR) and the impact of ambient light on both UGR and Subjective Glare Indexes (SGIs)

open access: yesIndoor Environments
The Unified Glare Rating (UGR) method defined by the International Commission on Illumination is practically the only one used for evaluation of discomfort glare in the lighting design process. However, it is unclear if this method aligns with subjective

The Glare Effect Test and the Impact of Age on Luminosity Thresholds

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2017
The glare effect (GE) is an illusion in which a white region appears self-luminous when surrounded by linearly decreasing luminance ramps. It has been shown that the magnitude of the luminosity effect can be modulated by manipulating the luminance range ...
