Abstract
Building design should aim at achieving comfort conditions and minimizing the energy consumption. The visual comfort conditions are given as the required levels of illumination, glare avoidance and a uniform distribution of light. If the recommended values cannot be obtained by daylight; supplementary artificial lighting is needed. As the window design is the major factor affecting the visual conditions in interiors and the artificial lighting energy consumption, a detailed evaluation is needed during the design stage. This study aims to describe a method of analyzing the performance of window glazing from visual comfort and energy conservation points of view, which can be used at the design stage of buildings.
