Abstract |
Review of the main factors for consideration in drafting new national and international recommendations on light contrast in visual tasks. Methods and criteria for the quantitative assessment of visual comfort (veiling reflections, contrast rendition factor, equivalent sphere illumination, observation directions, calculation points, reflection reference) are presented together with means of improving office lighting: recommended contrast rendition factor values, covering the work area, solutions for obtaining a high contrast rendition factor and combating glare. |
