RADIANCE Visual Comfort Calculation
نویسنده
چکیده
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 at one or more discomfort glare indices.

متن کاملLighting programme and iranian schools lighting requirements
It is accepted that the visual comfort in schools depends on the quality of the whole visual environment. This leads to the concern upon the quality and quantity of lighting. Currently in Iran, in order to calculate energy transfer for public buildings a coefficient is usually used. This coefficient considers the rate of sunlight energy absorption in these kinds of buildings. To increase the ...
