Summary
This study surveyed 140 architecture students on their perception and knowledge of daylight conditions, comparing subjective assessments with expert evaluations and measured illuminance data. Findings indicate significant gaps in students' understanding of daylight metrics and simulation tools, suggesting that architectural education needs more coherent and practical daylight training to produce better-informed designers.
Key Findings
- 140 architecture students were surveyed; their subjective appraisals of luminous comfort were compared against expert assessments and on-site illuminance measurements, revealing discrepancies between student perception and objective data.
- Students encountered notable difficulties interpreting daylight simulation indices, highlighting a need for improved daylight education curricula in architecture programs.
- No specific quantitative effect sizes or p-values were reported in the abstract.
