Summary
This paper investigates the effect of luminance contrasts in the field of view on visual discomfort and fatigue, particularly in office environments, and suggests that taking luminance contrasts into account when developing new office lighting could enhance the comfort experienced by office workers.
Categories
Employee satisfaction and retention: The paper discusses the impact of office lighting on employee comfort, suggesting that improved lighting design could enhance employee satisfaction and potentially influence retention.
Alertness and performance: The paper explores the impact of office lighting on visual discomfort and fatigue, which could indirectly affect employee alertness and performance.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper focuses on the role of luminance contrasts in lighting design, particularly in office environments, and suggests that these should be considered in order to enhance comfort.
