Comparison between CIE 2° and 10° field photopic luminosity functions V(λ) for calculating daylight discomfort glare metrics

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Sneha Jain

The spectral sensitivity of the average human eye in photopic conditions is represented by the photopic luminosity function V (λ). The CIE has established the photopic luminosity functions for the 2o and 10o visual fields for a standard observer applicable ...

User Evaluations of Contrast-Dominant Discomfort Glare Dim Daylit Scenarios: Preliminary Findings

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Geraldine Cai Ting Quek

Discomfort glare metrics typically consider at least one of the two effects of discomfort glare-saturation and contrast-in their equation. The former occurs when there is an excessively bright glare source in the field of view, while the latter occurs when ...

Self-commissioning glare-based control system for integrated venetian blind and electric lighting

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Laurent Deschamps, Ali Motamed

Rule-based control logics have proven to be efficient for automation of shading and lighting systems. However, successful commissioning of these systems for multiple stores non-residential buildings, regardless of the control logic, requires time-consuming ...

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

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Stephen William Wasilewski, Lars Oliver Grobe

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 worl ...

A smart luminaire in an office environment: impact on light distribution, user interactions and comfort

Jérôme Henri Kämpf

A smart luminaire able to change the direction of its light beam is installed in an office environment and compared to the available LEDs fixtures. Standard lighting measures are performed and a controlled user experiment is conducted, involving 22 subject ...

Calibration and Validation of Climate-Based Daylighting Models Based on One-Time Field Measurements: Office Buildings in the Tropics

Geraldine Cai Ting Quek

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 ...

Daylight affects human thermal perception

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Giorgia Chinazzo

Understanding the factors that affect human thermal responses is necessary to properly design and operate low-energy buildings. It has been suggested that factors not related to the thermal environment can affect thermal responses of occupants, but these f ...

Image reproduction with compensation of luminance adaptation

Mahmut Sami Arpa

We introduce an image reproduction model that retargets colors for printing purposes to ensure similar luminance perception under photopic and scotopic vision. Our model is based on the physiological functioning of the rod and cone cells in the retina in v ...

Contrast measures for predicting perceptual effects of daylight in architectural renderings

Marilyne Andersen, María Lovísa Ámundadóttir, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

Daylit architecture is perceived as a dynamic luminous composition, yet most existing performance metrics were designed to evaluate natural illumination for its ability to adequately illuminate a two-dimensional task surface and avoid glare-based discomfor ...

Human perceptions of daylight composition in architecture: a preliminary study to compare quantitative contrast measures with subjective user assessments in HDR renderings

Marilyne Andersen, Siobhan Francois Rockcastle

Humans perceive daylight as a rich and dynamic luminous composition and yet existing performance metrics most often evaluate natural illumination for its ability to adequately illuminate a two-dimensional task surface while avoiding glare-based visual disc ...

Fener: A Radiance-based modelling approach to assess the thermal and daylighting performance of complex fenestration systems in office spaces

Jan Wienold

A new Radiance-based modelling approach called Fener is presented. The motivation is to be able to perform detailed analyses of complex fenestration systems (CFS) from the energetic and daylighting points of view in a computationally efficient manner, so t ...

Daylighting Metrics: Is there a relation between Useful Daylight Illuminance and Daylight Glare Probabilty?

Marilyne Andersen, Nicolas Roy

The establishment of climate-based daylight modeling within research and practice has led to a fundamental reassessment of both the basis and purpose of daylight metrics. Whilst there is no consensus yet on the precise nature of the metric(s) that should r ...

Evening office lighting - visual comfort vs. energy efficiency vs. performance?

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Friedrich Linhart

During the study presented in this article, we compared two highly energy-efficient lighting scenarios for evening office lighting (i.e. electric lighting that is typically used for approxiamately 2 h in the evening). The first of these lighting scenarios ...

Comparison of objective and subjective visual comfort and associations with non-visual functions in young subjects

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Mirjam Münch, Friedrich Linhart, Apiparn Borisuit

Visual comfort is a key element at work places and at home. Besides task illuminance and color rendering it is the indoor light distribution, which strongly impacts visual comfort. We aimed to show possible relations between subjective and objective visual ...
