| Abstract |
Detailed analysis of lighting conditions in a landscaped office following complaints by computer terminal operators of sore eyes, eye strain and headaches from glare and light reflections on the 17 variously situated terminal display screens. Describes the methodology and examines the levels of illumination and the luminance at the various workplaces, their relation to the positions and backgrounds of the terminals, and the respective effects of daylight and artificial light. Measures suggested to eliminate reflections include placing of screens around workplaces; artificial lighting might best solve the problem of discomfort glare. |
