Discomfort caused by wide-source glare
AbstractWe report here on experiments to measure subjective response to intense light, or glare caused by a wide source. We have investigated three glare indices: the Building Research Station glare index; the CIE glare index and the Cornell daylight glare index. We have also examined the glare vote and have proposed a new glare evaluation scale, as well as asking the subject to vote on the condition's acceptability. The Cornell formula most accurately predicts glare discomfort, but it is found to be inadequate for a range of wide-source glare conditions. Both the discomfort sensation vote and the glare vote which we proposed correlate well with the percentage of subjects dissatisfied when looking directly at the light source.
