The challenge

The most essential issue, which affects occupant’s visual comfort, is the dynamic characteristic of the sun as a façade design complexity. In brief, adjusting occupants’ visual comfort to temporary daylight is a challenging work that is accomplished by investigating main features of daylight such as color and intensity.

The solution

Applying colorful glasses in window has the ability to increase occupant’s visual comfort. Spite of the fact that each color has different effects on climate and luminance based metrics, Using color combination in a window, creates opportunity for designers to control how deep the daylight penetrate into the spaces. Furthermore, designers could predict sufficient complementary artificial light for different floor layers.
