VISUAL COMFORT ASSESMENT IN THE OFFICE: A CASE OF STUDY
Abstract
Daylight is very important at work. Natural daylight is a vital element in our daily life. Providing natural daylight into the working environment is of fundamental importance for the comfort, efficiency and safety for the people in that environment. This paper deals with visual comfort evaluation in administrative building, in office spaces. The human eye is able to perceive light at the moment it occurs. It cannot accumulate or move it in the human body for future use. Light perception is a complex process that is described by photometric quantities. It is important to work with variables in the theory and practice of daylight, enabling the creation of a healthy and safe environment for people to work and relax, and for the energy efficient management of buildings. Its calculated by the Radiance simulation program.
