Visit PageWith the increasing emphasis on accommodation of people with low vision within the built environment, clinicians indicate that it would be useful to quantify values of light by measurable parameters that take into account occupant perception. Likewise, designers may find it helpful to be able to quantify visual environments/occupant perceptions using the same measurable values. This guideline offers both clinicians and those accountable for building performance the means to achieve these values, based on empirical data from published laboratory and field studies, recommended design practices from technical societies, as well as from published post-occupancy evaluations of buildings occupied by both low vision and normally sighted persons.
