“…Two recent literature reviews provide historical overviews of the multitude of glare indices [Eble-Hankins and Waters 2004;Osterhaus 2005]. However, there are only two glare indices intended for use in daylit environments.…”

Existing visual comfort metrics are reviewed and critiqued based upon their ability to explain the variability in human subjective responses in a daylit private office laboratory environment. Participants (n = 48) evaluated visual comfort and preference factors, totaling 1488 discreet appraisals, and luminance-based metrics were captured with high dynamic range images and illuminance-based metrics were recorded. Vertical illuminance outperformed all commonly referenced visual comfort metrics including horizontal illuminance, IES luminance ratios, daylight glare probability (DGP), and daylight glare index (DGI). The bounded borderline between comfort and discomfort is introduced, and preliminary visual comfort design criteria are proposed for several existing metrics. Fundamental limitations of glare indices are documented, and the implications of inconsistent application of luminance ratio calculation methods are quantified. Future research is detailed.

“…Examples are studies of temperature on thermal comfort (e.g., Fanger, 1970), luminance levels on glare evaluations (e.g., Eble-Hankins and Waters, 2004), and sound level on acoustic satisfaction (e.g., Belojevic et al, 2001). De Croon et al (2005) compared general office design options (e.g.…”

Examples are studies of temperature on thermal comfort (e.g., Fanger, 1970), luminance levels on glare evaluations (e.g., Eble-Hankins and Waters, 2004), and sound level on acoustic satisfaction (e.g., Belojevic et al., 2001 teleworking, desk sharing) and found effects on privacy, job satisfaction, and cognitive workload.Sick building syndrome (SBS) research has examined relationships between the physical environment and self-reported health symptoms (e.g., Burge, 2004). The relevance of this kind of work is often justified with statements such as "… a better environment means a happier worker, and happier workers make for a more productive workplace". However, only a few studies have attempted to establish this linkage formally. Several SBS studies have included environmental satisfaction and job satisfaction as predictors of symptoms (Brasche et al., 2001; Chao et al., 2003;Ooi et al., 1998;Skov et al., 1989;Zweers et al., 1990), but with li...

“…This finding was an interesting one, because the International Commission on Illumination recently published an extension to the discomfort glare metric that suggested that nonuniform sources should actually cause more discomfort than uniform ones. Currently, there are four publications from this work (Eble-Hankins and Waters 2004, 2009a, 2009b, 2009c.…”

In 2001, the Architectural Engineering Department at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, along with industry partners, established an industry-experienced graduate student program. The program was developed to bring experienced design professionals to collaborate with the industry while pursuing a Ph.D. in architectural engineering. This program is designed to be mutually beneficial to industry partners, -graduate students, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Architectural Engineering Department, and the building industry at large. The first doctoral candidate in the program graduated, and significant collaborative work was completed for the industry partner. All parties to this initial offering are pleased with the outcome and believe the benefits significantly outweigh the costs. This paper presents the program, lessons learned, and plans for the future. The authors are the faculty, the industry partner, and the graduate associated with this initial application of the program.
