Study Notes
Daylight Factor
- A percentage of the direct illumination on a horizontal plane from the sky
- A method for calculating the amount of natural light in a building
Lumen Method (Zonal Cavity Method)
- A method for determining the number of lighting fixtures in a space
- Considers the illumination level, area of the space, utilization factor, and maintenance factor
Glare
- A ratio of the size, location, and luminance of glare sources in a field of vision compared to the average luminance not inclusive of the glare source.
- Influenced by the size and brightness of the glare source, the average or background luminance, and the distance of the glare source from the center of the visual field.
Adaptive Zone
- A concept within glare calculation, referring to the location of a glare source relative to the viewer's central field of vision.
- The Guth position index indicates a glare source's proximity to the visual periphery, where a higher value signifies a source further from the center of the view.
Daylight Glare Probability (DGP)
- A metric for evaluating the likelihood of experiencing glare from daylighting sources
- Considers the vertical illuminance, the luminance of the glare source, its solid angle, and its position index.
Fraunhofer ISE Test Facility
- Equipped for analyzing daylight glare probability
- Allows for rotating rooms to simulate various angles of incidence for sunlight.
