RESEARCH ON WINDOW TREATMENTS THAT MAKE PRIVACY AND VIEW COMPATIBLE

Abstract

In this study, we investigated a fenestration system that divides the roller blinds into multiple layers, closes partially to ensure privacy, and opens the other areas to achieve both view, daylighting and solar heat gain. In the experiment in the controlled space, subjects evaluated “visibility from inside”, “estimated visibility from outside” and “openness”, and in addition to that, subjects also evaluated “view”, “brightness” and “total satisfaction” in the experiment in the actual environment. As a result, we confirmed the visual satisfaction improved by this system.
