Abstract
The objective of this study is to identify the effects of thermal and acoustic discomfort on glare sensation and manual control of venetian blinds. The results of subjective experiments in a test chamber with an artificial window are described. The room air temperatu re affected glare sensation a little, while noise levels did not affect glare sensation. However, the probability that subjects used the venetian blind was determined only by glare sensation. When the Glare Sensation Vote was 1(just perceptible), more than 50% of the subjects used the venetian blind. After the adjustment of the Venetian blind, glare sensation became lower in all conditions, but the room environment was not acceptable in the case of room air temperature being 29.5℃ because of thermal discomfort.
