This document describes a visual comfort calculation developed by the LESO group at EPFL during Spring of 1991. The calculation uses the RADIANCE synthetic imaging system [Ward90] to compute luminance values from a computer model of an architectural space and the lighting and daylighting of that space. These luminance values are then applied to a selected glare calculation procedure to arrive a...

Daylighting opens up a range of topics of investigation at the interface between architecture and building technology, especially when focusing on the integration of building performance in design. While it has a strong impact on human health and well-being, and an undeniable association with (subjective) emotional delight and perceived quality of a space, it is also highly dynamic and variable...
