Design Guidelines for Glare-Free Daylit Work Environments

摘要

A strong focus on lighting quality and productivity as well as a renewed interest in energy efficiency in recent years has highlighted the lack of appropriate design guidance for architects, interior and lighting designers for creating glare-free daylit work environments, especially in offices.Although wireless networks and simitar technologies have partially eliminated the need to work in close physical proximity, office-based work remains important for the majority of our workforce. All indications suggest that more new office buildings will be constructed. Others will be refurbished or refitted to upgrade existing office environments. The majority will hopefully have windows.
