TLDR
The conclusion is that discomfort glare from a single window (except for a rather small one) is practically independent of size and distance from the observer but is critically dependent on the sky luminance.Abstract:
This paper discusses daylight glare as a source of visual discomfort in terms of glare from the unobstructed sky and not glare related to direct or reflected sunlight. There is a difference between...read more

Evaluation methods and development of a new glare prediction model for daylight environments with the use of CCD cameras
Jan Wienold,Jens Christoffersen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a CCD camera-based luminance mapping technology was used to provide new insight into the impact of luminance distributions on glare, and a new index, daylight glare probability (DGP), was developed and is presented in this paper.

Windows, view, and office characteristics predict physical and psychological discomfort
TL;DR: This paper used path analysis to further elucidate the relationship between personal (gender and seasonality of mood shifts), building (view type, view quality, window distance, and social density), and perceived environmental conditions (light quality, and office impression) and physical and psychological discomfort, sleep quality and environmental utility.

A review of indices for assessing visual comfort with a view to their use in optimization processes to support building integrated design
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present recommendations for use, and suggest areas where improvement is needed for their use in optimization processes to support buildings' design, based on their analysis of their features and implications.

The effect of building envelope on the thermal comfort and energy saving for high-rise buildings in hot–humid climate
Seyedehzahra Mirrahimi,Mohd. Farid Mohamed,Lim Chin Haw,Nik Lukman Nik Ibrahim,Wardah Fatimah Mohammad Yusoff,Ardalan Aflaki +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of building envelopes on energy consumption and thermal performance of high-rise buildings in the Malaysian tropical climate was investigated. But, the results of the other studies that establish to the selecting of proper parameters of building envelope to the highrise residential.

Discomfort glare assessment and prevention for daylight applications in office environments
TL;DR: It is concluded that available assessment and prediction methods are of limited practical use in daylit situations and currently have no provision for integrated systems that combine daylighting and electric lighting.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that bright light sources can cause glaring effects which may impair visual efficiency, which may be brought about by a directly disabling effect, or it may result indirectly from irritation and discomfo...
