The Effect of Adaptation Levels and Daylight Glare on Office Workers' Perception of Lighting Quality in Open Plan Offices
A series of post occupancy evaluation (POE) studies have been carried out as part of the research for a M. Phil (Architecture) degree at the University of Sydney. The aim of the studies was to isolate causes of dissatisfaction within the large open plan office environment. It was hypothesized that the adaptation level would be a significant influence on peoples' perceptions of their visual environment. The outcomes from laboratory based research had indicated that situations where the mean adaptation levels were greater than 30 to 40 cd/m2 would be judged bright and well lit. The outcomes from the POE studies disagreed with these findings and mean adaptation levels in excess of 100 cd/m2 were associated with conditions judged to be dim, gloomy and inadequately lit. There seems a possibility that daylight glare from windows destabilized the visual function and set adaptation levels that caused well illuminated spaces to appear inadequately lit. Implications for lighting design are raised and the need for ongoing research is identified.
