“…The table includes overall significance tests for differences between lighting conditions and, for each individual lighting condition, a significance test against normative data from a sample of over 800 individuals in 13 offices with new or energy-efficient upgraded lighting, all in the upper North-East of the USA. 17 (There were no differences in office lighting survey results as a function of panel reflectance.) This table shows the percentage of agreement with each of 10 statements, for each lighting condition.…”

Experiment 1 had four experimental conditions: a regular array of fully direct recessed parabolic luminaires; direct / indirect luminaires with no control; direct / indirect luminaires with a switchable desk lamp; and, workstation-specific direct / indirect luminaires with control over the direct portion. Experiment 2 contrasted two conditions with no individual lighting control: a regular array of recessed prismatic lensed luminaires, and suspended direct / indirect luminaires. Participants considered the direct / indirect systems to be comfortable than the direct-only systems, with a further increase in comfort associated with individual control in Experiment 1. There were no simple main effects of lighting quality on the performance of any task, although the expected changes in performance associated with task visibility, practice, and fatigue were found. Interactions between lighting quality and time suggested that having a degree of individual control of lighting tended to maintain motivation and vigilance over the day.

“…Office Lighting Surveys (OLS, developed by Eklund and Boyce (Eklund and Boyce, 1996)) were distributed amongst the office workers via work email addresses. The OLS was separated into five categories: (1) general statements, questions regarding (2) attributes, (3) tasks, (4) glare, and other questions (5).…”

Lighting has been proven to influence human directly and indirectly. In addition to office worker's needs of lighting conditions, it is essential to investigate office worker's preferences regarding the lit environment. The objective of this paper was to identify lighting parameters which relate to overall satisfaction with lighting in a cross-country field study, based on subjective data. Two field studies were performed (the Netherlands: spring 2016 and Italy: spring 2018). The Office Lighting Survey (OLS) was distributed to gather data on office worker's satisfaction with lighting. In both field studies, the significant correlation between overall satisfaction with lighting and the evaluations of the lighting conditions for all work tasks highlights that lighting conditions need to be examined for every work task. In addition, the OLS results demonstrated that the light aspects 'illuminance', 'uniformity', and 'luminance' are highly important. This is in accordance to what the CIE proposed: describing the total lit environment and not individual elements within it.

“…It includes statements that assess quality (e.g., "The lights flicker throughout the day"), comfort (e.g., "Overall, the lighting is comfortable"), and performance (e.g., "Reflections from the light fixtures hinder my work"). It has been used in both field and experimental settings (Borisuit et al 2014;Boyce et al 2006;Eklund and Boyce 1996).…”

Lighting is an important component of indoor environmental quality that can affect occupant satisfaction, well-being and productivity. Lighting quality is a broad abstract concept and this has implications for its assessment. Subjective evaluations of lighting are an important complement to objective photometric information; however, there is limited existing guidance for the selection of such measures. We review and highlight the advantages and limitations associated with measures of general lighting quality and discomfort glare. Existing measures of lighting quality have broad coverage of individual lighting features but do not always clearly form cohesive scales measuring an underlying construct. Questions used in experimental glare research focus narrowly on glare severity, with ambiguous response rating scales. There is a need for the development of reliable and valid tools to assess lighting quality and its components, with clearly defined definitions and constructs, and explicit reporting of psychometric scale properties. The development of rigorous self-report tools will improve the understanding and design of quality lighting environments. ARTICLE HISTORY
