Designing architectural façades that allow sufficient daylight to create visually comfortable and pleasant environments is a challenging aspect of building design as it requires to account for visual comfort and discomfort glare risks, and understand the f ...
Calibrated climate-based lighting simulation models of buildings have the capacity to perform an essential role in postoccupancy evaluations, such as annual frequency assessments of daylighting quality and visual discomfort. However, in most postoccupancy ...
Light enables to see the world around us, while playing a key role in our biological functioning. During the last decades, light has become an important research topic for chronobiologists and neuroscientists, and their findings are increasingly interwoven ...
With the growing awareness about ipRGC-influenced light (IIL) responses, design applications related to these responses are flourishing. To compare design options and optimize lighting conditions for building occupants, lighting simulations are typically u ...
Avoiding discomfort glare is one of the critical aspects of maintaining visual comfort, which significantly influences occupants' overall satisfaction with their indoor environment. Discomfort glare prediction models have been developed for various lightin ...
This study explores the effect of multiple bright light sources in the field of view on discomfort due to glare in office environments. User experiments were conducted in semi-controlled dim daylit environments mimicking open-plan offices, with glare stimu ...
Given the large impact that the spectrum and intensity of light can have on people's health and well-being, it is of fundamental importance to understand the properties of light received under normal living conditions. Historically, as research into the bi ...
Over the past years, increasing efforts have been devoted to understand how people perceive the indoor environment with the goal to improve building design and operation. Studies have separately addressed the effects of the four main aspects that influence ...
Designing architectural façades that allow sufficient daylight to create visually comfortable and pleasantenvironments is a challenging aspect of building design. It requires accounting for visual comfort anddiscomfort glare risks and understanding the fac ...
