Discomfort glare index

11 Oct 2011 Only a few formulae have been proposed for discomfort glare of daylight A Comparison of the Existing Glare Index and the Proposed Method,  In the case of discomfort glare, the kind of glare provoking an irritating or distracting effect, no current indices can properly explain the high variability existing  glare indices cannot reliably evaluate the level of discomfort glare from daylight in flight deck with complex non-uniform glare sources and irregular shape glare 

The CIBSE glare index is a system for the evaluation of discomfort glare defining two methods of calculation: The calculation of the glare index based on a formula. The finding of the index from tables based on the photometric data as supplied by the luminaire manufacturer. Discomfort glare indices: a comparative study. The variations in the discomfort indices with the azimuth angle at the line of vision of the hypothetical observer have been studied. The equivalent veiling luminance to evaluate the disability glare calculated from measurements in the space viewed by the observer. Glare is a visual sensation caused by excessive brightness. It is subjective and person dependent. So, it is very difficult to measure glare factor accurately. Glare can be disabling or uncomfortable. Disability glare is the reduction in vision caused by bright light sources and it can be increased with the age of a person. Discomfort glare is a sensation of irritation due to bright light sources. Ratings of initial light output provided by manufacturers express the total light output after 100 hours of operation. disability glare - A type of glare that causes a loss of visibility from stray light being scattered within the eye. discomfort glare - The sensation of annoyance or even pain induced by overly bright sources. illuminance - The amount of light (luminous flux) incident on a surface area. Illuminance is measured in footcandles (lumens/square foot) or lux (lumens/square meter).

Discomfort-glare thresholds were estimated using a staircase procedure; the Discomfort glare in central vision is more closely associated with the spatial The application of luminance mapping to discomfort glare : a modified glare index for

Glare is difficulty of seeing in the presence of bright light such as direct or reflected sunlight or Discomfort glare results in an instinctive desire to look away from a bright light source or difficulty in seeing a task. Other glare calculation methods include CIBSE Glare Index, IES Glare Index and the Daylight Glare Index (DGI).

Glare, physical discomfort caused by contrast or luminous intensity, is an underutilized parameter in contemporary architectural design. This project consists of a series of related activities that are concerned with experimental and computer-based design analysis techniques to asses the appearance of glare in daylit spaces.

Its equation uses similar variables used in competing discomfort glare metrics. The basic equation is as follows, where L and w refer to the glare source, and prefers to the position index calculated from the position of the glare source in the observer’s field of view.

The CIBSE glare index is a system for the evaluation of discomfort glare defining two methods of calculation: The calculation of the glare index based on a formula. The finding of the index from tables based on the photometric data as supplied by the luminaire manufacturer. The UGR glare index for discomfort glare is ranked on a scale, which in practice runs from 13 to 28 where the higher the glare index the higher the level of glare. The smallest change in the glare index denoting a significant difference is 3. Its equation uses similar variables used in competing discomfort glare metrics.

The glare index is affected by the size and relative position of fenestration, orientation to the sun, sky luminance, and interior luminance. The glare index is similar to the index of sensation and the discomfort glare rating, which are used for electric-lighting applications.
