Analysis of daylight glare and optimal lighting design for comfortable office lighting

Abstract

The comfortable office lighting is one of the important issues for people’s health and working efficiency. In this paper, the current lighting situation of the office was measured and analyzed. We built an office model with the Rhino software to simulate the daylight environment and calculated the glare with the DIVA plug-in. The results show that the daylight glare is more serious in January, February, November, and December. Try to block out part of the sun to avoid glare in these months and use artificial lighting instead. We used DIALux evo to make an office model to simulate light environment. The lighting environment of the office area was optimized by changing the parameters of the light source and the position of the lamp. The optimal light environment is more energy saving and comfortable.
