The Implementation of Visual Comfort Evaluation in the Evidence-Based Design Process Using Lighting Simulation

Validation of the EBD-SIM (evidence-based design-simulation) framework, a conceptual framework developed to integrate use lighting simulation in EBD process, suggested that EBD’s post-occupancy evaluation (POE) should be conducted more frequently. A follow-up field study was designed for subjective–objective results implementation process using tools. In this real-time case study, visual comfort occupants evaluated. The analysis data were collected via simulations and questionnaires subjective perceptions. June, confirmed original October, but additionally found correlations with annual performance metrics. This shows that, at least variables related daylight, POE needs different times year obtain comprehensive insight into users’ perception lit environment.
